That "core to core" splice is exactly what I had in mind. Thanks Dennis.

I had Layline "stuff" 1/4 inch Dyneema into a length of StaSet. The StaSet is easy on the hads and works well on the winches while the Dyneema is light and strong for the active part of the sheet. The joined portion is located such that it is on the winch. You can get two piece halyards also. Apsltd offers same thing as "core to core" splicing for $38. scroll to the bottom of this page: <http://www.apsltd.com/c-1539-splicingservices-halyardssheetsguys.aspx> Dennis C.

Why not use ordinary half inch or larger spliced polyester tails similar to the way that wire and polyester are spliced? That sort of splice is beyond my knowledge or skill, as is the wire to polyester splice for that matter, but there must be people who know how. It may not be possible for every combination, but there must be some products that are compatible. This combination would also solve some of the wear problems associated with the high tech lines, since the larger diameter polyester tails are quite durable and can be sized to be of adequate strength long after they get soft and fuzzy.
