I replaced Calypso's fore and back stays with Dyform wire and Norseman type fittings back in 1999. So far all is well. The same year I replaced most of the stays with new rod and terminals. I used a local rigging shop where I could deliver the old rod as patterns, picked up the new rod and installed the new myself. If I needed to replace the rod today I would not hesitate to use Dyform or similar performance wire rigging. I would spend a little time deciding if I wanted Norseman fittings or use a commercial swaging process. I believe they have similar reliability but the Norseman fittings can be changed at sea with common tools.
