This guide gives Grand Soleil 40 owners a structured way to plan standing-rigging replacement alongside the other mast and deck equipment that may be involved. Owners can use the individual sections to compare the core re-rig with optional furler, kicker, winch, rope and mast-or-boom work before requesting a detailed estimate. Even apparently standard production boats can acquire different fittings over time, so photographs and measurements from the current rig are more useful than relying on the model name alone. A reliable production schedule should record stay count, wire or rod size, finished dimensions, mast terminals, chainplate pins, turnbuckle threads and the forestay connection through the fitted furler.
