Dyneema is very slippery, so a splice is best. Uncovered Dyneema is so
easy to splice even I can do it. You taper one fid lenght, bury a total of

Thank you all for your suggestions. I have decided to replace my
wire-to-rope halyard with 3/8 Samson MLX (doublebraid cover over Dyneema
core). Now my only question is whether to strip to the core for the "wire
section" of the new halyard. For me, there is still the sheave question.
Several of you
