I am looking for rigging for my '75 Dufour 35

[Yaya1]

I'm trying to track down standing rigging and hardware for my 1975 Dufour 35, does anyone know of a company that provides boat info and sells the rigging?

West Marine carries 316 stainless wire in different sizes, and APS Sailing is another good option. They have a rigging department and a helpful online guide for measuring wire diameter (measures from high point to high point, not the flats). You might find rigging specs for your boat on that sailboatdata webiste or by contacting the manufacturer, assuming no modifications have been made. Sharing details about your current setup on the forum could help others assist you better. Good luck mate.

I'll check out West Marine and APS Sailing for rigging, have you used APS's online guide before? How accurate is it for measuring wire diameter?

Where are you located? here in Vancouver we've got Ocean Rigging and Hydraulics and also Steveston Marine and Hardware that you can visit to see if they have the info that you need.

Great tips all around! I've heard some good things about APS's measuring guide,has anyone actually used it in real life? I'm curious how it stacks up against calipers. Also, a question for the OP, what kind of shape is your old rigging in? That could help figure out what you'll need
