My problem with the synthetic fiber shrouds is that I'm still afraid of
long term UV damage. I've had two spectra halyards fail.

Another good point is you can easily stow a length of line and make up a new
stay in a couple of hours.



For me, any cruise would demand a length of shroud material that could
be remade within reasonable time: galvanized, stainless, presumably
synthetic? But steel with patent terminals, or swaged ferrule hard
eye ends have their appeal to simplicity.
