This is a collection of the resources, tools, and hardware I used to make
my dyneema stuff. For the lifelines I used 1/4" dyneema and made locked
brummel eye splices supported by thimbles. You have to be able to thread
the rope eye through the stanchions THEN install the thimble. Solid
thimbles
This more about my thoughts. With masthead rig backstay tightens forestay but
causes major problems with main. Some like cc33 fix with baby stay and others
with check stay. The check stay fixes a lot of this but adds extra work and
complexities on tacking. Is totally different than running
Josh - can you point to any good resources on its use for lifelines?

I'm a huge fan of dyneema. It is relatively cheap and easy to finish
yourself with few if any special tools. I currently have lifelines,
topping lift, various soft shackles and continuous loops made of dyneema.
No problems. I might reconsider using it for standing rigging but
everything else
I just finished splicing some dyneema for the running backstays for my
Baltic 47. I assume that's what you are calling check stays. So yes, I
think Dyneema's a much better option than wire. We use the boat mostly for
coastal cruising, occasional ocean racing, and occasional ocean passages.
Just
Do you actually use these? Our frers 33 has check stays and although they help
with main shape we rarely use them due to added complications tacking etc

I have decided to replace my standing rigging on Water Phantom, my now 26 yr
old 1995 C XL/kcb.
The rigger has recommended staying with a rod replacement vs. wire to better
match the rod fittings, esp. at the mast head and to save money.
He also recommends going with dyneema, instead of wire,

Well the melting point of solder is about 460°F and I'm sure the iron gets
hotter than that so who knows what the temp of the bolt got to. I've used
my oven set at minimum (170°) to help cure epoxy when the temperatures are
too cold out side. Worked great.

And Yet, they cure these epoxy and carbon fiber at 150 - 180 Degrees in an oven!

Couple of things I have done with plastics, and I guess this would be
