Default Very nice

I had heard someone was doing modern deadeyes, but hadn't found the website; thanks for posting it, Jack. I wonder if wire can be spliced to those deadeyes....it is still far cheaper than synthetic HM rope, and I worry about UV degradation in the tropics.
Are you having to put the lanyard on a winch to tighten it up, or is pulling by hand enough?
Thanks again!
