There are YouTube videos on the splice technigues and there are tables to compare strength of dyneema to stainless rod or wire. I replaced my lifelines w dyneema and now I'm doing the runners, checkstays and jacklines. I won't argue replacing rod with dyneema. I'm don't have the experience o

Thanks to the list, I am learning more than I probably need to know about high tech lines! Anyhow, it seems these lines if properly sized and spliced, etc. can last a long time and then when replaced, can be done with a competent, relatively easy splice in such single braid line.  OTOH, a wire c

Thanks Andy-- My terminology may be incorrect but what I call check stays are mounted at two different heights on my mast and are separate from the rod backstay, which is adjustable via a hydraulic cylinder. This being the case, I suppose some might call them 'running backstays' but I already ha

We use them to 'help' support the mast--my trimmers know that these need to be attended to during tacks.  OTOH, I am not sure they provide much stiffening since they pull mostly aft. My rig has what I believe to be a 'bendy' mast and used to have a baby stay (since removed) so I use them. Don't

Full disclosure, I work for a rope company. But a few things so say regards to Dyneema. First of all Dyneema is a brand name that comes in a wide range of “models”. The actual material is UHMWPE or Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. A Dutch company DSM makes the yarns with subtle diffe

My wire runners and checkstays are still in good shape after 32 years, but I am changing over to dyneema to reduce weight aloft and reduce chafe on the mainsail. I'm also making lazy jacks from smaller 1/8" dyneema. Runners and checkstays can be rigged for singlehanding. Ours are setup with a

Mike, This may not work on your Frers, but we have the checks run to cabintop winches and in a tack the pit person is the first across to the pit area to release the check in the tack and loosely pulling on the new check after the boom has crossed. Fine tune is done from the rail as the boat
