New forward stays went on today - 2021

Our new stays.
 Our two new forward stays (wire rope and swages) were replaced today. We plan on replacing some of our standing rigging each year. We replaced the back sty in 2012 with the new ICOM M802 SSB antenna.

We are right in the time frame for the replacement with 10 - 12 to 15 years for replacement of standing rigging. We don ot knw how long the other standing rigging has been on the boat. The only way we could check it now would be to x-ray the swages for corrosion. We do not push the boat hard and a set each year should keep us up-to-date with standing rigging.
