Rigging replacement

Hi all, am soon going to be making the plunge and move the family (of 6) aboard next year. Ahead of that I need to get a few things done, the yacht is currently in Sardinia and needs new rod rigging. I am looking for suggestions of a good yard to get this re-rigged (I've got prices for the rigging - OUCH, but not the fitting). I was guessing mainland would be the best place to head but don't really know. At the same time I am hoping to get a new permanent Bimini (it currently doesn't have one) fabricated. Can anyone help me find my way? Mat

Not exactly next door, but also not so far away, Palma has a huge presence of riggers.

Re: Rigging replacement

I'm not saying it is for you... But have you considered changing from rod to dyform or compacted strand? It might be cheaper.

Re: Rigging replacement

Originally yes, I was considering just this, however for a number of reasons I think going to OEM spec is the right thing for me.
