It seem to me if I were in the business of making components for sailing vessels I wouldn't set up shop in a town located on a small barely navigable tributary river sixty miles from the nearest open ocean, and nowhere near a major port.G.

I have never heard the terms "rope stay" or "stay rope" in any contemporary or modern usage. A stay is just called a stay, usually modified by its specific function on the ship (e.g., fore topgallant stay, mizzen topsail stay, etc.) Also, I don't think I've ever heard of a rope maker that specialized in stays, as opposed to shrouds, halyards, buntlines or whatever.Peter Ansoffnoreply@blogger.com
