Reply to: What is the useful life of standing rigging?

[quote=mikekrantz]I replace the rigging every 3 years, but I do a lot of sailing. Most of the times the corrosion cannot be seen, it happens within the swage where moisture and crud is captured and sits. I think of it as cheap insurance. Approximately $200 for new shrouds/forestay, vs the rig falling down = mast damage, beam damage, hull damage, and/or possible injury. YMMV, but I wouldn't trust 40 year old rigging no matter what.[/quote]
