Owners considering a re-rig on a Swan 53 (Frers) can use this page to establish the likely project scope before the existing stays are measured. If the project extends beyond the stays, the same page can also be used to review halyards and sheets, furling equipment, kicker options, winches and replacement spar guidance. Previous rigging work can alter terminals, rigging screws, mast fittings or the forestay arrangement even when the basic yacht model has not changed. If the old rigging is available, copying the original stay set after checking its condition and dimensions is usually more dependable than manufacturing solely from a model-based schedule.
