Inspection of your standing rigging should be performed regularly. Careful examination of your shrouds, stays and terminal fittings can help to prevent big problems. If you do find any questionable equipment (cracks, corrosion, rust, fishhooks, bent fittings, broken welds, etc.) - replace it immediately! Don't forget to check all cotter pins, cotter rings, clevis pins and be on the lookout for missing fasteners.
