Dipole Length on a Sailboat

[Deleted]

I have what I need to make a stainless steel cable dipole for 20 meters. I know how to make the calculations to get the proper lengths for the desired frequency. What I would like to know is if the sailboat's rigging has a significant influence on the resonant frequency of a dipole whose length is calculated by standard formulas? With a copper wire antenna, its easy enough for me to make it, test it with an antenna analyzer, and adjust the length if necessary. With stainless steel its harder, since you can't solder and resolder, but rather are dealing with press fittings which are a bit more difficult to undo once you have made it tight enough to hold the antenna together for an in place test.

Please help.

Thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
