Re: Stus-List New Sheets - What kind of line?

Putting an eye on both ends of your genoa sheets is a good idea for when you change your sheets end for end. Just make sure that the bulk of the eye splice will still fit through a turning block if you are using them. Otherwise you will have to disassemble the turning block to reeve the sheet

Re: Stus-List New Sheets - What kind of line?

Thanks, everyone, for your input! I might go slightly bigger on the jib sheets, but worry that a thicker line wouldn't work well with my mainsheet winch. Anything will feel nicer to handle than the current sheets. Dennis - I was only going to splice an eye at one end and whip the other but you

Re: Stus-List New Sheets - What kind of line?

Regular XLS would be preferable to Extra T for sheets. Extra T is a better low stretch halyard line but tends to be rather stiff and holds a set when wrapped tight on a winch. Stretch isn’t as big an issue with jib and main sheets that get constantly adjusted. My $.02 as a Rope guy. Chuck

Agree with Dennis. Soft shackles don't release on their own though I've only used them for the headsails for three continuous years. My genoa sheets are both red, 3/8" maxibraid, after my last genoa was impaled by the spreader when a very experienced and knowledgeable person crewing for me

Re: Stus-List New Sheets - What kind of line?

Lots of thoughts on this one. First, in the interest of candidness, I use 3/8" VPC with an eye on each end. I attach EACH sheet to the clew with a soft shackle. Why? If I ever want to do a sail change on the fly, each sheet must be attached separately. OK, I'm probably more on the racing end

There is compelling reason to use a single piece of line with an alpine butterfly knot and a soft shackle to connect to the clew. https://stingysailor.com/2015/06/27/diy-soft-shackles-for-quick-and-easy-headsail-changes-2/ As for type of line, I'm not convinced that anything high dollar makes

You could source new seals on McMaster-Carr which will probably be the cheapest route. A hydraulic shop will probably have the seals on hand and be able to install at their hourly rate - second cheapest. When I sent my Navtec cylinders (2) to Lew Townsend (+1 206-498-7282) at Sound Rigging in

Re: Stus-List hydraulic backstay

Dan, That sounds pretty normal for a leaky seal to not hold pressure. It’s odd that you leaked so much fluid though. The backstay is the highest part of the system. I would think that the pressure would eventually leak down to zero and then stop leaking altogether. I’ve had my seals
