Reply to: Synthetic stays

[quote=rehmbo]I use the larger cable cuffs for my stays, and smaller for the traps. Regarding the trap lines, I inherited the setup from the previous owner so I'm not 100% certain, but the lines appear to be a heat-set variety - perhaps the 3/16" Yale Ultrex 12. They seem to be a little bit stiffer and less prone to tangles than the typical AmSteel. No issues with stretch thus far. I doubt that we're loading them enough to cause creep past the initial set which I'm sure the PO dealt with. The top spliced loops include a chunk of cover to prevent abrasion. Bottom loop/splice is within the barrel of the trap handle. We've sailed about 8 or 9 regattas this past year with no visible deterioration. I remove everything but the halyard from the mast between regattas. The halyard gets tucked back in the luff track to limit UV exposure.[/quote]
