Thanks Brion for explaining the beginning of the lashing. Regarding using nylon over service, in what circumstance would you opt for wire over synthetic seizing line (nylon or another stronger material like dyneema)?

Ian, I believe the tension will not be high enough to split the spar, but I may reinforce the spar end to play it safe. I'm avoiding tangs to allow easy knockdown and minimize components.

There's another thing I've wondered for a while since we're on the topic of seizings and service. If you parcel/serve/slush SS wire, is there an issue with oxygen starvation?

Thanks again for all the advice.
