| | Instructions for end splicing of braided line are available on line
,
| | just google. If you can't splice, here's a trick. Get your line
| | spliced at a rigging shop. Attach your jib halyard to the chain
plate
| | and detach the roller furling. Put the line around the chain plate
and
| | reattach the roller furling. Now, release the socket head screws
that
| | hold the the lower shroud covering the sheave and place the line on
| | the sheave. replace the shroud and you're in business.
