As far as costs go for the sailing rig on a motorsailer, I'd say they are fairly insignificant in the big picture of boat ownership.
In the 8 years I've had the boat, I replaced the running and standing rigging once. Total cost was $2600. Other than that, I had a small repair to the mainsail costing $200 and that's about it.
The stress on a motorsailer rigging tends to be much lighter than "performance sailboats" as there is much less sail area.
