[quote=samc99us]I would stick with stainless steel wire-as you've experienced, it lasts a good long time when taken care of, or even when not taken that great of care. I replace more often than most, every 2 to 3 years, as dropping masts is expensive, but there is plenty of 10+ year old standing stainless rigging at the club.
As to source, Murrays has always built the correct length, even for custom jobs.
With the synthetic rigging, the biggest advantages are weight, ease of transport, and the ability to build yourself. I would attach them to the factory shroud extenders. For a family cruising boat, the increased risk of damage due to chafe and the reduced life due to UV degradation would have me looking elsewhere. Plus, you need some pretty pricey line, I would use 4mm D12 Max 78 at a minimum.[/quote]
