Re: Cost of insurance survey?
I paid $20/ft in Baltimore in November. It was discounted since it is the third time in 10 years that he has surveyed the boat ( we are commercial and insurance is requiring a survey every five years).

The rate you pay for insurance after the survey will vary as you point out.

Hi Tim,?
?
As work progresses, I will do my best to keep you all informed with photos and information. If the yard thinks building and welding a stainless steel box is no longer a good option, we will pivot to G10 as they have the tools to easily cut the material. G10 will probably be much more expensive due to labor, but I want the work to be done right! ?The yard should be starting next week. ? ??

Re: Sabre 38 Mk2 rod rigging open style turnbuckles
How old is your rigging? If it¡¯s original then you should be looking at replacement particularly if going offshore. Stemballs etc. maybe in the same shape as the turnbuckles. Mine was 25years old and looked great but my rigger was like it¡¯s 25 years old! Best investment I made and peace of mind offshore was worth it!

Re: Sabre 38 Mk2 rod rigging open style turnbuckles
I¡¯ve replaced mine but offhand I don¡¯t recall the thread pitch. Measure the stud diameter and contact rigrite. They¡¯ll be able to provide the proper turnbuckle. Opt for chromed ?bronze not stainless, that way you won¡¯t inadvertently gall the stud threads. Len Bertaux Walkabout S38mkii Prides Crossing
