This guide gives Westerly GK29 owners a structured way to plan standing-rigging replacement alongside the other mast and deck equipment that may be involved. The equipment tables are deliberately separate from the standing-rigging cost, allowing a basic replacement set to be planned first and extra sail-handling or deck-hardware items added only where useful. The existing yacht should therefore take priority over any generic model assumption, especially where a mast, furler or set of rigging screws has been replaced before. Before manufacture, confirm every stay’s material and diameter, finished length, upper and lower terminal type, pin size, rigging-screw thread and the complete forestay or furler interface.
