This thread haven't had much updating for a while, especially nothing positive, so I'll drop a note.
This year I used West River Rigging (located in Shady Side, MD) to do some work on my mast. I am happy to say that they were pretty darn good, and around the Annapolis area they are so far my best experience with a rigging company. They are not a big outfit (owner Paul and a few guys working for him), which made dealing with them actually more direct - something I personally prefer. Certainly orders of magnitude above my past (terrible and already described elsewhere) experience with Chesapeake Rigging. (Sheesh, I hope I don't jinx it somehow.)
Also, Marty's Bagworks (in Edgewater, MD) doing pretty good work on my new bimini so far
