Old rigging


Recommended Posts

Welcome to MSW Sbagg.  It would be great if you would post a little intro about yourself on the new member forum.

 

Regarding your question, a few photos and more information might help.  What is the material of the rigging line?  If the lines actually  just fall off/break on their own you might want to consider re-rigging with new line or is it that they have just come untied?   The fact that it got brittle in the first place is strange in itself, but are the lines parting at the knots or elsewhere?    

 

Again, welcome to MSW

From here, it sounds like the line was coated with something... shellac, varnish, clearcoat paint or even glue.  By "come off" do you mean broken or just off the belaying point?
