And is that an orangutan holding the sail in the pic 5th from the bottom?

How come your 100% jib doesn't hoist to the mast head?

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.

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!

Well you must use different wire than the rest of the sailing population. High
tech line stretches less than wire these days bub. Read up. Plus who wants to
deal with wire anyway.

Loco,

You're absolutely correct. My next boat project is all rope halyards.
Wire takes permanent sets and are hard wear on wenches

OT

"hard wear on wenches"

looking forward to what Horvath makes of that one.
