This was new rigging and inside a roller furling.

cause he is trusting wire.
the boys doing a good job of it so far. if he fixes this little
problem he will do fine.
problem i have is he keeps going into port for fixes he could do at
sea.
so what a bit of rigging broke splice it and move on. would take at
worst a couple of hours.
sounds like the boy has a baby sitter.

Tell us how you would 'splice' 1x19 wire...
