I don't understand how this is an improvement on anything.

You still need two cleats; if you already have that, why not just lead one clew reef to one, one clew reef to the other and avoid the crazy...

What about the cover and 12-strand?

12-strand to double braid splice

Where would I find info on how to splice a high-tech 12-strand to a double braid?

Application is spinnaker halyard on a 35' masthead rig.

You can do the Brummel splice directly to the tang without the ring hitch.
However, it requires you to pull 50' of line through one of the holes in the brummel. Not impossible, but perhaps...

Hmmm.

Hadn't thought of that. Guess that makes sense, and since the difference only a few diameters, and there is a ton of extra bury.

Splicing high-tech double braid.

So I need to put a couple splices in Endura Braid, which has a Dyneema 12-strand core and a more-or-less standard polyester cover. The line is 3/8" diameter, overall.

I have Brion's "Riggers...
