Becasue it does...becasue we tried it...you have to use


enough tape and

stitch enough to make sure the lines don't come aprt, no?


Well....that

much tape and stitching makes the halyard too fat to go


through the slot

for inmast halyards...been there, done that..messenger


line is the way

to go...



How many rolls of tape did you use.
ONE piece of good quality duct tape is all that's needed.
What is that, 1/3 mm ?
