Running Backstays Advice

[Jack]

Just completed a set of running back's from 7mm Dynex Dux. 15k breaking strength. I used a block and tackle and used Dynex for the block lines with a fat tail. We are coming up with some trick deadeyes for the termination, and using the McDonald Brummle to secure things.

So far I have replaced, backstay, running backstays, life lines, halyards (with fat tails) out haul, bow net frame (trimaran) The amount of weight and ease of handling has to be experienced to be believed. Truly a traditional future coming here with the new synthetics.

If you are in San Carlos I have more material if you want to make up some runners. I have 7mm (15k breaking) and 9mm (26k breaking) phone me at 226-0968 or ask around Bob's for Jack.

My boat is downtown out in front of the Oxxo station in front of my house.
