Greetings all,
Having removed my standing rigging for replacement, i intend to replace the cotter pins from everywhere I've removed them with new ones. I've noted in several places on the internet, recommendations to use the same standard split pin cotter key that I removed and in others, suggestions to replace them with a split ring for the clevis pin retainers everywhere. I can see that a split ring would be better if it's frequently removed (stay to stemhead etc.), but I've read other places that say split rings should be used everywhere.
Any definitive positions on that topic for Daysailers?
Thanks- Scott
