Question: Can I mix dynex dux and wire for standing rigging? By that, I mean, if I have ss wire for the standing rigging are there concerns I should be aware of if I desired to substitute dux for the forestay and aft intermediates? I would also use dux, or some other appropriate synthetic line for the runners. The rest of the sanding rigging would be wire.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Others on this forum have more experience with synthetic rigging than me

Using Dynex dux for runners is not unusual at all.

If you don't trust synthetic rigging why would you mix wire and synthetic for permanently rigged stays?

Using synthetic for removable stays is a good solution.
