In all of the discussions about using high tech line for halyards over the years, there is one solution to the problem of the "hand" of the thinner lines that I don't recall being suggested. Why not use ordinary half inch or larger spliced polyester tails similar to the way that wire and polyester are spliced? That sort of splice is beyond my knowledge or skill, as is the wire to polyester splice for that matter, but there must be people who know how. It may not be possible for every combination, but there must be some products that are compatible. This combination would also solve some of the wear problems associated with the high tech lines, since the larger diameter polyester tails are quite durable and can be sized to be of adequate strength long after they get soft and fuzzy.
