Default spicing 12 strand high tech to VPC or Polyester DB

Hi,
Saw your post, I came across the same issue some years ago and found that using Brion's advice and employing the technique (with a few minor adjustments) described in his book Working Rope Book 5, Pages 79-85 (Simple HM Grommet) what you want to do is pretty straight forward.
I'm assuming that you want the 3/16" Dyneema/Amsteel/Vectran or whatever high tech uncovered portion of the halyard will be from the masthead to the securing point of the halyard (for strength/low stretch /sheave profile purposes) so the 50/50 combination with the VPC may have to be adjusted.
If you need some rudimentary instructions email me jjh(ampersand)oddpost.com
