Does anyone have any recommendations for new rigging? Salty Dog Marine is having a sale and I would like to know who I should go with and who I should avoid when it comes to replacing the shrouds and forestay rigging.
Thanks for your input.

avoid any place that is not a sailing shop (like west marine).. they usually don't know everything they should about cats. I don't think most west marines handle rigging but some do and i have seen them mis-cut shrouds.
Salty dog is a good company to deal with.. they are fine i would think

You can always support your local Hobie dealer, that is what keeps them in business. If you fail to support them, next thing you know, THEY ARE GONE

I agree... we have a local repair guy who is my mentor.. i purchase almost exclusively from him, pay in cash (so he doesn't lose the 5% credit card companies take) and even try to use him to do work i could do myself... (but he won't wax my boat)....
