Hey Mike,
After my, sad and expensive, experience with (professional) riggers, the more of your own rigging you do the better. I agree with Capt'n Mike. You'll get a better job if you do the rigging yourself. Do get Brian Toss's Riggers Apprentice an learn to do the job yourself. You can even call Brian's shop an ask them questions, but watchout, cause they'll tell you to bring your boat over to the shop. For me and SHADOW that would be over a 1000+ miles up to Washington. You can get videos that show you how to tune your masts. If I'd known this before, my Mariner 32 would still be in the water an not on the hard cause the rigger tightened the shrouds to tight an literaly cracked one of the main beams under the main mast. So, anyway, that's what I've been doing all spring an summer long, digging out the broken beam under the mast. It's out now and I was going to laminate 1/4' strips of red oak with resorsinal glue. Like I'm the seasoned shipwright! I'm all ears if there are any other ideas out there in the Mariner family. So, don't let this avoidable situation happen to you.
Yours truly, Kathy Campbell
