![]() Dear Stumble,
I have had success with applying a short (150 mm) bit of serving at each ratline position. Depending on the stay size, first wrap with athletic strapping tape ( white, non stretchy, 50 mm wide, vastly expensive from a drug store, better from a medical wholesaler by the box ) then serve tightly with black 3 mm V.B. cord. Then rattle her up!. If you have sized the dynex correctly ( see web sites and threads ad nauseum ) I dont think that any perceived weakness will amount to much, certainly no more than a clumsily excecuted eyesplice If the stay is correctly tuned you wont be able to push a needle through anyway. I am just in the middle of replacing, with Dynex Dux, the stays and shrouds on a 196 ton 110 foot three masted schooner. ( Weight saving about 2 1/2 tons ) I will let you know how it goes with the ratlines. Regards, Joe Henderson. |
