Having your mast come crashing down on deck, as was reported by a sailing vessel 300 miles south of Bermuda, can just ruin your day. According to what is said, the fittings can be used twice more, replacing only the 316 stainless wire. Outside of making the workers aware that their efforts are being monitored, you might learn something. They love to stop and talk. Corners do not get cut and hours are filled with progress.
Diligent supervision is extremely important in Trinidad and Venezuela.
For electrical wire supplies, whenever an open bare end is showing, use Liquid Electrical Tape to seal off the ends . Whenever you crimp a fitting, smother with liquid electrical tape even if it is shrink sealed. Plug-in connections, whether out in the weather or not, should be sprayed with good corrosion preventer regularly. Products that I recommend are Corrosion Block, Boeshield T-9, Corrosion X depending on your specific needs at the time. As an aside, to keep from losing the little red spray doodad, tape a drinking straw to the side of the can and put the little red, easily lost spray thing in it.
