Chafe at the crossing point
To eliminate the chafe where the Vectran Crosses, put in a simple upright block, like a Harken 096. This will push one of the lines up (or down) to prevent them from touching.
Everything else can be same as designed.
A friends Hunter 45 had a similar issue, only their wire chafed thru, during the "bringing it home from purchase" delivery from Porto Rico to New Orleans, during a nasty gale.
They got to use the emergency tiller on a 25000 lb "dinghy". HA!
First purchase after the new wire was the 096 block to prevent them from touching.
