Oh yes, I tried that once. On my other boats I used to splice lines myself.
That’s why when we rebuilt the rig I had the riggers completely replace all the running rigging with the Sta-set X while they had the mast. It was pretty nice running all the new lines with the mast on the ground. New lines, new shackles. Flemish loops, my favorite… Thanks guys.
