Plasma rope
Anyone use plasma rope Cortland rope company for standing rigging. Heat treated spectra. Got a quote at 2.33ft for 7/16. Way cheaper than dux. It's heat treated but not pre stretched like dux.
Would this be good for standing rigging. Its a westsail 32 with marconi rig. Currently boat has 9/32 1x19. Thinking about using 7/16 plasma (23000 pound breaking) with closed hd thimble on turnbuckles. Was also thinking using deadeyes technique with seizing at the top of mast to allow for stretch or creep and tensioning with turnbuckles at bottom of mast.
Any thoughts would be appreciated
