Yard stepping mast question
We may be about to buy a boat that currently has the mast pulled for winter. The yard did the work, and we'll have to pay them in spring to step the mast again. That brings up my question: Will the yard normally also tune the rig? By "tune", I just mean the basics, like making sure the mast is straight from port to startboard, and has the appropriate rake. I don't mean racing prep.
Basically, I'm asking if I'm going to have to not only pay a yard to step the mast, but also spend hours myself or pay someone to adjust all the standing rigging after they step it.
Of course, I realize each specific yard will vary on the work they do, and we'll definitely ask this yard this question when the time comes, but it would be nice to know what's "normal" in terms of spring re-stepping/rigging. Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks,
J
