Brion Toss is the real deal. I had him onboard Calypso to review my new standing rig choices (a combo of new rod and Dyform wire) and defend his formula for calculating the load on the aft lower shrouds. He also helped me resolve some differences in the written instructions on how to use Dyform wire with Norseman fittings and Harken's roller furling turnbuckle.
So far it appears his formula and advice was accurate as the rig still stands 10 years and many miles later.

I know it's a bit pricy at $50, but it makes splicing so enjoyable, it's worth every penny. If your ever in Port Townsend, his rigging shop is right there next to the marina. Right below Carol Hasse's sail loft. Both are worth a visit. Real nice people and very knowledgeable.
