I replaced the main halyard (which was the original rope/wire) with a 5/16 Tech-12 spliced to a 3/8 Samson XLS. The splice is pulled all the way through the stoppers when the main is hoisted. Next time around I would downsize to 1/4 Tech-12 and 5/16 Samson XLS since 5/16 Tech is rated for 13,000 pounds. I had the riggers put a long eye splice at the headboard shackle end. Tech-12 was recommended to me as having no creep problems and superior UV resistance. Works good so far. |
