FWIW, I like amsteel where I can see it. I spliced my lifelines in amsteel. And I replaced a SS cable in my vang with dyneema. I use soft schackles. But I think I'd prefer a centerboard pendant to be SS where it can stand up to unseen abrasion & barnacles and will last 20 + years. Am I overthinking this?
