Re Rigging a schooner with SS7x7 Nicopress

[Brion Toss]

Hi again,
First, I'd avoid 7x19. It is actually stronger than 7x7, but far more elastic, and far, far more corrosion-vulnerable. Galvanized 7x7 is hard to come by these days, but if you find some, you need to be skilled in applying parcelling and service, if it is to last long.
You can find details on preserving wire in the "Apprentice." I've never tried the two-part paint. Anyone out there have experience with it on wire?
If you can get good stainless 7x7, that would be a good way to go. 1x19 is also an option, and is generally far more available.

But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. If the rigging is essentially unused, might it not be usable? What do you know about its current condition? Who has looked at it, with what tools, and what conclusions did they come to?
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
