I need to have some lower shrouds on our Endurance 35 replaced. Does anyone know of a rigger in San Carlos or Guaymas, or is it better to do it stateside and bring them down?

What size is the rigging and how much of it are you going to replace? are you sure it is Just the lowers? I have done the rigging on all of my boats now, up to 5/16  and it really is quite easy to do yourself. Especially if you go with staylocks or noreseman fittings. If the rigging isn't any bigger than 1/4 inch I would consider oval sleeves and swaging the fitting for a very strong very inexpensive solution, that will never seperate at the swage.  There is no one in San Carlos who is what I would call, a professoinal rigger by trade, that I am aware of. I can pretty much do any thing 1/4 inch and smaller right at my shop with a nicopress tool and we have a port supply, which is a wholesale west marine account so if you need to place an order for your wire and swages I can have it shipped right to you and when you bring it down we can replace them pretty quickly. If the  boat is here I could go take a look at it and give you a quote.

Hope that helps.
