Interior seem normal to you?

The theory with the plastic tubing rollers on the shrouds is, as stated, to reduce wear and tear on jib and lines.  However, lines are cheaper to replace than stays.  I thought about getting them when I first bought my boat, but, luckily, never had the money to do it.  As mentioned, nice traps for nasty stuff that eats up wire stays.  If they have caps, thus excluding air, it's even worse, especially in salt water.
