Hi Ted,

Cable is stainless 1/8" multi-strand. It comes from a local yacht rigger, I'll try to get some specs. It is the best I have seen so far and should not buckle with this new system. I am not naive enough to tell anyone that something is unbreakable though. I don't think there will be many changes now. Stay in touch.
That is yes, to Chile this season.

Best,

Reg
