Default Wire lift pendant bad

Hi,
By all means, get rid of that wire pendant, which is too heavy, easily kinked, and inclined to chafe your sail. Endura, covered or not, would be a great choice; covered will last longer. As for size, A 1/8" core will have about the same breaking strength as a wire of the same diameter, and should be plenty for your boat. That's assuming a proper splice.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
