Hello,
I have a 500' roll of 5/8" 1x19 galvanized wire, and a 300 foot roll of 1/2" 1x19 galvanized wire. How much tension should this wire be under when parcel and serving it. Will this process get the 'memory' of the roll out of it?
Also, I have 600' of 9/16" vectran. How much tension does this require while being parceled and served?
Is it usual to cut these products to length , plus a safety margin, and parcel and serve each piece. Or do you do the whole length and then cut it?
I am hoping to haul out in port townsend somewhere in august to work on the hull. Then somewhere in september -october assemble the spars and rigging. I would like to have an idea of what I ought to do ahead of time to prepare the rigging.
Thank you,
I am posting my progress on
