The Swan 65 (S&S classic) is covered in our rigging database so owners can begin a replacement project with a consistent set of cost and equipment references. 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. Changes made during earlier refits are often found at the ends of the stays rather than in the wire itself, which is why terminal style, pin size and turnbuckle thread need checking. The final check should identify each stay individually and capture wire size, finished length, terminal geometry, pin diameters, rigging screws and any furler components that determine the forestay length.
