However, our use is much, much less than what you're doing with your Sabre.

I just talked to a friend who's a lake sailor, thats returned from their first winter in the Bahamas. He made me recall how when we're off long term (months at a time) and underway every day, stuff that holds together just fine for seasonal coastal sailing, falls apart before your surprised eyes.

Even just taking our boat a few hundred miles for a couple of weeks is much harder on gear than easy weekends or close to home vacations that don't require much of systems.

Sleeping dogs rest easy if they're not jostled.
