DYNEEMA: Installing synthetic standing rigging on a sailboat (Rigging pt. II)
A complete walkthrough how-to install synthetic standing rigging. How to splice a deadeye, and discussion of the pro’s and con’s of steel rigging vs synthetic. This is the second video in this series “Be your own rigger”. In the next video we’ll discuss how to tune your standing rigging, and how tuning a synthetic rig differs from steel.

If you have specific questions feel free to contact me directly and I’d love to help (contact info below).
Disclaimer: this is an example of how I changed MY rigging, please refer to professionals for specific installation procedures, BEFORE touching the rigging on your boat.
