    Somewhere or other, I've read that a useful tool in case of a rigging
    failure is a set of bolt cutters so that you can cut away the rigging
    on a demasted boat quickly. I can't find that reference now.

    My husband wanted to replace a frayed furler (I think), and he got a
    large piece of stainless wire rope, and attempted to cut it to size
    with the bolt cutters and couldn't do it. These were BIG cutters.

    My questions is -How could the bolt cutters be of help if they aren't
    able to cut through the rigging?
