Rust on newly replaced standing rigging

[Beneteau381]

I think here there is a bad intention from the rigger as well, because any qualified person who does rigging should know that this is not normal. Seeing this and saying everything is perfect is a very bad intention. Of course there will be consequences of this behaviour… I am not sharing his details now, but just for now…

Just a note of caution, I’ve seen wire like this before elsewhere and iirc it has been discussed on here before. It doesn’t necessarily mean it will break.
Spain? Best of luck with lawyers there. Weigh up what professional advice will cost to get a definitive answer for further action, will it cost the same as biting the bullet and redoing? Maybe send pix to your insurance and ask them what they think about continuing cover with it being left as is?

Be careful, but Spain is actually better in this kind of dispute. If you can't come to an agreement, ask for the "hoja de reclamaciones", it might be best to get a gestor or even a lawyer to help fill it out.
There's a formal process for consumer arbitration in Spain and that's the first step.

Interesting that this isn't a one-off. Agreed strength isn't the problem, but corrosion and staining is.

It confirms my cynical view of QA, ISO 9000 etc...

I don’t know where this wire was made but I’ve had a few “stainless” boat parts from AliExpress and the like that are rusting away happily on my boat now.

Fred , You are insinuating that the stainless wire was made in China.
That could be the case, but to think that quality control cannot slip in an "advanced" country is a furphy.
Look at the recent track record of Boeing or Volkswagen

Fair point Gary, I guess what I’m getting at is that price seems to be the driving factor in much manufacturing today.

Always was, is alsoa driving factor in purchasing
