Look again big boy. The rope is but a tail as the halyards are
wire/rope combinations. The wire commences only about a
foot above the cleat or winch. How much stretch does one
foot of rope have anyway. Bwahahahahahhaha!

My wire halyards stretch less than your high tech fiber crap!

The real riot here are the main and jib halyards. 3 strand rope! How do you
maintain luff tension Crappy? The last time I saw 3 strand rope used for any
running rigging was in the comedy Summer Vacation. I guess you can't use
double braid with Hong Kong Sails. They might explode.
