Reply to: How to keep trapeze lines from getting tangled

[quote=rattlenhum]Without getting into the mast hound debate (H16s have had three holes since the 80's!)... What shock cord are you using? If some goes through the beam you may not have much choice on diameter. My good quality marine grade 1/4" stuff ain't cheap, but it works well. It can be tightened pretty dang snug when not in use and still have plenty of stretch for trapping out. It also holds up well to sun and use. I use the small ferule hooks on one side for a cheap failure point when needed and a beefier hook on the other side (stopper knot can easily be moved to take up slack as cord stretches). That said, if the jib halyard unintentionally loosens, they go slack and it drives me nuts. Ditto if I rake the mast back for big wind...I just live with it.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by rattlenhum on Sep 22, 2023 - 10:49 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
