nicopress standing rigging?
Hi all, I sail a Nor'Sea 27 which is due for a standing rigging update. The cost has pushed the idea into the back of my mind but the weather today brought it back to the forefront. Due to the cost of swageless terminals I've been hesitant but I really like the idea of being able to replace and maintain the rigging myself. This leads me to nicopress fittings as recommended on the Pardey's Storm Tactics video (for those of us who haven't yet learned to splice). My boat was made with 7/32 1x19 rigging and 3/8 turnbuckles (swaged terminals). I don't see 7/32 offered as an option in Nicopress. Should I upsize to 1/4" 7x7 and two or three Nicopress? Any suggestions, I'm after a bulletproof feeling of security. I've lost a headstay in the past in a blow and am determined that it won't happen again. Any advice for or against welcome. Thanks in advance,
Bill Oyster
