![]() Funny, you had Dyneema shrouds with v-100 lanyards, and I did the opposite. It was my understanding that dyneema, having a far lower coefficient of friction than polyester, would allow the lanyard to be set up more easily. How do you find your poly-covered lanyards to behave?

![]() I'm sure the V-100 lanyards are more difficult than the Dyneema. But it was double. I was worried about the thinner Dyneema line taking UV damage more quickly. Here in the tropics the sun is brutal. Plus it looked more authentic with the black deadeyes. And it holds a knot better.
Thanks again for the input Ben
