[MHml] synthetic rigging

[CruiserTom]

Just a data point for UV  worries or not...

My 36'shrouds of Amsteel Blue Plus (now with UV protection) 
cost approx $47.50 ( 72' x 66 cents per foot )

The cheap plastic shroud covers cost me about $24 bucks.

Maybe it's better to plan to replace them more regularly and 
know that all of the high stress points of the line are renewed.

The covers are more important in areas where there is 
abrasion (from battens and boom) however.

My main worry about converting to synthetic rigging is the 
possibility of UV degradation.

   What is the general concensus?
