One of my jib sheets' cover split during my last racing adventure--of course a little too far from either end to just cut or reverse the line. The line is 3/8" Endura braid with a dyneema core which is fine--and at 10,000 lbs breaking strength should stay fine!
I have some experience in adding covers to smaller line to thicken it up for my rope clutches and I have already 'snaked' the core thru the end so that the covers meet. My thought is to just put a bunch of thru stitches at right angles to each other from one side of the broken cover to the other and "...drive on", saving myself about a boat buck in the process. Any thoughts on this from the list? Charlie Nelson Water Phantom C&C 36 XL/kcb [email protected]
