Thanks, Brian. I'll have a look at Vectran.
How much does Dyneema creep? Is it just the tiniest bit? And does it ever stop creeping? I could deal with constant tuning until creep stopped, it it ever were to. Also, at what percent of breaking load does creep begin? Could creep be mitigated by oversizing?
The boat is a Cape George 31 pilot cutter I'm finishing from a bare hull; I'm putting a gaff rig on it rather than a marconi.
