Robbin, The gizmo I am attaching to my stay has a swage-type stud that cannot be removed without repercussions, so I will not go the Sta-lok route this time around. It is a good system, however, so next time I do rigging I will probably go that way. One of the nice things about these little boats is doing one's own tasks. Thanks for the advice.

Tom, not my area but I would doubt it would be worth saving the cable. I plan on replacing my standing rigging after this season and am looking to use Sta-Lock (http://www.stalok.com/) instead of swaging. Might be a good option for you as well.

Gang, I have never done swaging or watched the process, so I have to ask an ignorant question (actually, a question means one is ignorant about something, I suppose). I need to put a new fitting at the end a stay, but cutting the old fitting off and re-swaging will make the wire too short. Is it possible to remove a swaged fitting without wrecking the wire, or perhaps not put the wire all the way into the new fitting so it won't use so much? The fitting will take 1 3/4" of wire, but I would like to use only 1". Thanks, Tom Jenkins
