Rigging with Dyneema

With practice and tensioning
 the slice will improve in appearance.

 After our forestay failed last year we have been contemplating the best way to re-rig our Sabre 28.

I like to do things myself so I have been watching you-tube videos about dyneema rigging.

It is super strong, user friendly and gives a visible sign when worn.

This winter will be a great time to unseat the mast and re-rig.  The boat stays in the water all year here so I will have Sailcraft lift off the mast and tie up the boat nearby while I re-rig.

To get started I tried brummel splicing an eye in 3/16ths line for use as a lifeline.  The average strength of 3/16ths dyneema is 5400 pounds!

It's easy!

Awesome high quality thimbles from Suncor.
