Hey there! Quick update from James River VA...starting my travels south. This quick motor sail, we talk about where we've been recently and what to do with the broken lifeline...should I use dyneema?
Dyneema is very easy to work with to create your own synthetic standing rigging, the hardest part is figuring out how long you need to make your stay to fit your mast! This video will show you how easy it is to measure your own rigging and make fabrication of your new stays less stressful.
