Dacron vs. Polyester
Recently had origional halyards and sheets replaced on 1980 Cape Dory 30 cutter. They were 7/16in prestretched dacron,and were replaced with 3/8in Sta-Set polyester. Sail coastal and blue water cruising. What lifetime can be expected compared to the 20+ yrs the origionals? Any maintanence that can extend polyesters' life?
