It is also far easier to store enough spare cable to make a new shroud or stay. It also doesn't require specialized tools to terminate the replacement shroud or stay—just a couple of wrenches, a pair of vise grips and StaLok, Hayn HiMod or Norseman terminal ends.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
