It went ease and is very durable. We got caught in 50 + winds and full sails and the only thing that happened is a ripped main, the rigging was perfect. It is very easy to work with and you don't have to unwrap the twist to use the fitting, I thought this was a much better solution. Joel |

The reason I started the thread is I've noticed that several catalogs, Defender for example, only list the Suncors with lifelines, as if to say they're okay for that but for standing rigging you need Hayn or Stalok or whatever. |

The Suncor web site states that the terminals are rated at 90% of cable strength. Generally, the aim is to build the stay/shroud with 100% of cable strength, or as close as possible.

Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) Good Old Boat magazine tested the Suncor swageless terminals against Sta-lok, Norseman and a professionally swaged terminal. The Norseman failed so badly (69% of cable load rating) that Norseman was permitted to then provide a sample prepared by the company for a second test, which it also failed at 80%. The Suncor Swageless surpassed the professionally swaged terminal and the Sta-lok, although those three all exceeded the cable's load rating. http://www.bosunsupplies.com/goodoldboatquickattach.cfm |
