Default I have

I used V-100 as standing rigging on my 31' Cape George cutter. Works perfectly. Used turnbuckles at first, then upgraded to Colligo deadeyes and Dyneema lanyards. Some of the V-100 has been in the sun since 2009 with no breaches in the cover.
NE ropes has good directions on their website for splicing V-100; far better directions than the ones Samson offers for their version of it.
You can see pictures of my rigging on my personal website/blog: zartmancruising dot com

Best,
Ben
