Hi Joel- I considered a dyneema cover but thought it would make the line even thicker and so more likely to be abused. But does anyone know if it is possible to remove the cover from the last few feet and add a dyneema cover there? Dave > On Nov 5, 2018, at 4:21 PM, Joel Aronson via CnC-List

Also, while we're on the subject of halyard damage, this is EXACTLY why I buy extra length on my halyards (and sheets). Damage to running rigging is more than likely going to happen near an end. If you bought extra line, all you need do is to cut off the damaged part and end for end the line. I

Marek, The split cap fits a different profile of extrusion. There aren't many good options here. I replace the vinyl trim cap every 2-3 years and tape it heavily. It always disappears. I've considered a regular old PVC plumbing cap with a short piece of PVC pipe. They would have to be split t

Depends on which furler you have. If you have a Harken MKIII, the trim caps are notorious for "disappearing". It is just a vinyl cap which slides over the top of the extrusion (Harken #870). Later Harken furlers use a split insert which goes around the fore stay into the extrusion. Some riggers

Hii Dennis- That is the first I have heard of a plastic trim cap. Is this something attached to each side of the mast entry box? It makes sense to have something to protect the halyard from the metal edges, but I don’t know if something is up there or not. I will bring my stabilized zoom tele

Is the damaged spot match up to the top of the extrusion? Is the top of the extrusion missing the plastic trim cap? Lower the sail, put some tape on the damaged spot and re-hoist the sail. Use binoculars to see if the tape is at the top of the extrusion. If so, it may be the top of the extrusion
