solid wire work hardens and breaks under vibration. Anyone who suggested

use solid wire is not someone you want to listen to again.

waves lapping, hobby horsing, harmonics from wind against the rigging,
harmonics against the sails, harmonics against the hull, harmonics from
climbing the wave ...
.... plus second harmonics of all of the above plus others ..

plus third harmonics of all of the above plus others ..
