It's a shame to start over since it was only a few months ago I paid for a 'recommended' rigger only to discover, as I learned more about rigging, that he did a poor job. The only good thing about that rigging job is that I have a new mast boot which fixed all my leaks. I think I'll wait for more dependable weather.
Thanks again.
So for those that have spartite mast wedge, this implies buying a new kit every time mast is tuned. My rigging is relatively new (2018), and 1x19 316 SS wire was stretching the first year or so. I think its finally keeping the tension.
