[quote=jonathan162]I'm not the materials guy here, but isn't the idea behind stainless that it requires exposure to oxygen in order to inhibit corrosion? If that's the case, the jacket would have the dual problem of causing it [i]and[/i] concealing it. As far as reversing them, that sounds more like nonsense to me. If it's based on the theory that water runs down into it from the top, I'd argue that it also wicks up from the bottom. But you guys also have to deal with the salt, and dismasting ain't a laugh riot. So yeah, probably a good idea to get a new set.[/quote]
