This guide gives Bowman 45 owners a structured way to plan standing-rigging replacement alongside the other mast and deck equipment that may be involved. Because a re-rig often exposes related wear, the page also gives reference points for running rigging, furling, kicker and winch equipment rather than treating the stays in isolation. 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. Where measurements are being supplied remotely, clear photographs of every upper and lower termination should accompany the finished lengths, wire sizes, pin diameters and rigging-screw details.
