Hello!
I am the proud owner of a '74, 22' I would like to purchase a new main halyard and jib halyard. I noticed some halyards have steel cable attached while others do not. My current jib and main halyards have the cable attached. Do I have to have the steel cable at the one end of the halyard?
Also, do I replace 45 year old shrouds? They are probably original? stays but show no signs of rust or kinks. The boat has lived on fresh water all its life, I believe.
My boom topper is rope and I believe it goes all the way to the top of the mast, should I upgrade it to steel cable?
Thank you for time.
