    The biggest threat to our boats is the raising value of the metals they contain and the disappearance of cheap storage. Lead is worth about five times more than a decade ago. Added up with the scrap value of the aluminum mast and assorted rigging a nice payday can be had, I don't want to give a number. Sad for us, but recycling metals has enormous benefits for the planet, keep those Chinese factories humming, ha! Really the best thing we can do is to sail our boats and promote a little subculture that values a skill and tradition than spans human history. Introduce people to sailing, it's really fun to take somebody sailing for the first time.
