Hmmm Ian you have a point. My experience on ratlines is restricted to modern sloops where the stays don't really have enough distance between them to run them properly. The only time I had to use them I had to take of my shoes because the stays were so close together.
I still can't think of a good way to atach them to dynex stays however. My first thought was to stitch them in, but I think this would induce a weakness in the line, same problem for a clamp or wrap around the stay.
