SS Cable for riggin

Hi all,
I'd like to replace my standing rigging next year. I will be doing it myself using Hi-Mods. I would just use a rigger however I want to learn this skill so that when I buy my next boat I'll know how to do it. Plus I want to understand it in case I ever need to fix something while underway.

The fittings are easy to source, but I am not sure as to SS 1x19 suppliers. I was hoping to get some advice on the best supplier for the cables.

316 category? Your location might attract more relevant responses.

I ordered mine online through riggingonly, and have no complaints so far.

Re: SS Cable for riggin

If you'd like to check it out, we have a form for ordering mechanical fittings and wire online.
Our Blue Wave fittings (90 year old manufacturer from Denmark) are considerably cheaper than Hayn's, and the same quality - also simpler to assemble.
Or you could choose to have a swage fitting on top and install the mechanicals on the bottom - just order the wires slightly too long.

We only use 316 KOS wire.
