To minimize chafe where the ground tackle comes aboard through the bow roller, I'm considering using some 1/2" high modulus, low stretch line that I have (parallel strand kevlar with braided cover) for the first 20' or so and then going to 1/2" three-strand nylon. The final set up would then be kevlar-nylon-chain-anchor. Is this a good idea, and if so, what would be the preferred way to connect the kevlar and nylon lines? Braided eye splice to eye splice? Thanks, Robert
