Deadeye Lanyard Knot question

[Garth]

Hi Everybody,

I'm very close to going sailing for the first time in my Ness Yawl (Iain Oughtred design). A little more paint, and a few rigging details and I'm there.

So, to my questions. The stays on my boat are vectran and the side stay tension will be adjusted with pairs of deadeyes. I'm using a 3/16" double braid line for the lanyards. The traditional stopper knot for deadeye lanyards is the Mathew Walker. Any suggestions on an attractive stopper knot for double braid? The hole in the deadeye is 5/16" diameter.

For the other end of the lanyard, what is the traditional knot to tie it off? I vaguely remember seeing 'cow hitch' somewhere....

Thanks in advance,
Garth
