I have the two part spin sheets on Touché for racing. If you race, it's the way to go.
Lightweight 1/4 inch Dyneema stuffed into StaSet with a long eye (luggage tag) for the shackles. Got them from Layline or apsltd. Forget which. You need strong lines for the guy. When you're reaching and the pole is near the forestay there is a LOT of load on the guy. StaSet would be like a rubber band in those conditions. Dennis C.
