Thanks for all you info. The rig is the original but the boat was stored inside (Arizona) for all its life, up to the last 6 months. The entire wire is rusty and the main is suffering from this. I guess I will be ordering some new wires this winter. Why would have Performance Catamarans not used stainless stays???? For what these boats cost I would tnink (HOPE) I would get stainless stays? I wash the boat down with fresh water after every sail (two to three days a week). Thanks again
