@neauoire Ouch. In the world of old bikes that would probably have been classified as “surface rust”. But if my life depended on it I would replace. What about climbing ropes at sea? It’s made for other environments obviously...

@neauoire Uh oh time for some replacements! Have you found any material as sturdy but less prone to corrosion or will you have to go with steel again?

@neauoire
That doesn't look good.

@neauoire woah @rek what made you think of this?? :o I would have, I think, imagined that "nah it looks pretty sealed from the outside air".

@neauoire Yup, I've seen that on past boats of mine. Will you replace them with more coated wire or leave them bare?

@neauoire whoops
