Scuttlebutt in the Internet says 50% loss of strength after 5 years in the tropics for Dyneema

My rigger suggested I keep an extra length exposed on the boat somewhere and send it off to New England Ropes in 5 years. He said they would pull-test it for me. I think it's a good idea and will try to find an unobtrusive spot to secure it. Maybe will do it after 4 years.
