double Loop end short rope for mainsheet block
« on: June 08 2021, 22:52 »
Hi,

My 46 is set up with 2 short braided loop end ropes to carry the mainsheet block.

I am assuming this was how it came from the factory.  Any idea where I would go for replacements?  Is this a custom made item?

Just buy some 8mm or 10mm V12 dyneema and make the up yourself (very easy stuff to splice loops into, lots of Youtube videos).  This will actually be stronger than the originals too.

Digging through spare parts that came with boat I happened across 2 spares. 

I just love it when things like that happen as My results are usually much more different and time consuming. Is it me or does time speed up on a sailboat. 

We sailed from Miami to CT and there were times that hours would go by super fast.  Maybe I’m having too much fun. ha
