[quote=mikekrantz]5mm is overkill. You're replacing 5/32 1x19 wire that is rated at 1,493kg with a 5mm product that is rated at 3,810kg
I use Marlow D12 Max SK99 for standing rigging applications. It's manufactured using the same heat treat process as Dux, but comes in smaller diameters.
You should be using 3mm D12 Max SK99 that is rated at 1,790kg. I replaced all of the standing rigging on an Nacra 20 and reduced the weight of the standing rigging by 75%.[/quote]
