on the uppers.  Their arguments were convincing and so we did it.  Little did we realize that Selden would go out on the lowest bid possible to a  now defunct and bankrupt French company for the swaged fittings.  All of the major swage fittings for all of our 14 mm wire failed.  We must add that they failed in the worst way possible and we wee lucky not to lose our mast.  It appeared that the 16 mm swages held.  Since that incident however, we decided to replace the swages with Staylocks in 2002 and now our mast is mostly Staylocks.  Since converting over, we have had no problems.  We highly recommend either Staylocs or Norseman (which we used on our previous boat.)</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="83"
