Thank you! Yes, I wrote to Colligo Marine a couple of emails, but no responses so far. Maybe I should try calling.
I'm thinking of both - emergency shroud and switching to synthetic rigging eventually. I like the fact that it seems possible to replace it all by yourself.
So the reason an eye splice on a pin is not as good is because of a small contact area?
The rope should hold anyway, no? The strength rating of 7mm is 15.5K lbs vs 5000-6000 lbs of existing 1/4" 316 1x19 wire. The rig tension would be less than 2000 lbs on this wire.
In fact, I was thinking that tying a double bowline knot may be enough. Even if the rope loses 50% of the strength, it still should be plenty for the boat size. Am I wrong?
The line terminators are beautiful, though.
Thank you!
