I'm leaning towards using .021" stranded SS wire instead of .018", for the extra strength (80lb. vs. 55lb.), and reduced stretching, on my B & C rigs, and maybe my A rig also. It fits well into the #75 holes I've drilled in the masts for the blind tangs, and the holes in the shroud rack turnbucle screws. Stiffness shouldn't be an issue, since some are using solid wire. Any down side other than slightly increased wind resistance?
