[quote=MN3][quote]What about the bridle wires and forestay? Should they be replaced with the same frequency? [/quote]
yup
same amount of exposure and dirt, salts and other corrosives get into all the fittings
AND your diamond wires
[quote]Are the stress levels the same as on the shrouds?[/quote]
same? I am not really sure of the physics of the stays vs bridals but i am sure the force on your diamonds is not the same as your stays
but exact same amount of stress cycling going on with all your standing rigging
Someone else (here) posted an article about fitting fatuque that was very interesting -
