![]() I can't remember the riggers name. I assumed he assembled them himself. He was located in Wimington Cal. Originally from New Zealand and has sold his business. The end terminations or fittings had swivels on them, that used a d ring for lashing. I will see if I can drop by when you are in Hawaii if you have time maybe we could discuss them. Just bought your book. I really want to learn how to splice.

![]() I have had several fiber backstays made up over the last year -- of PBO and more common aramid fibers. These were terminated with stalok-like cone/wedge compression fittings of anodized aluminum.
As Brion mentioned, these were made up "at the factory". My assumption is that this process is tweezy enough that they want to keep it under controlled conditions. You could contact Applied Fibers in Havana, FL and discuss it with them... Bob |

![]() You maybe be correct about the capshrouds being built by Applied Fibers. They have a picture on their website of the end fittings used on my tri. I may be in SoCal in a few months and will see if I can contact the rigger who did my rigging. Another thing I liked was he used lashings instead of turn buckles. I would be suspect of any new turnbuckles now especially with all the junk coming out of China. It seems all the hardware manufacturers are using Chinese suppliers.
