Well jeez louise Bob..... mine would still be the original halyards this
season if I hadn't gotten these new ones for free. They were spares he had
on his boat for the trip.

Running rigging should be replaced after 8 to 10 years. It's not expensive
and
easy to do. I've replaced all of my running rigging and most of the
standing.
Not a huge expense and less worry. I bet Scotty Potti's standing rigging
is
original as well.
