DYNEEMA [Part 2]: Measuring Your Rigging | Sailing Wisdom 

Great video! In truth it is over my head (no pun intended) but you know I forwarded it to my son. I always do when it comes to your maintenance videos. He just loves your videos!

Awesome, Herbie! You've done it again. Thank you. 👍👍👍

As always , thanks guys!

Thanks for the lesson Herbie.

Thanks again Herbie, always learning from ya.

Very Detailed !!!! Awesome !!!!

Good stuff. I really enjoy your videos Herbie. Hope to run into you guys someday on the Chesapeake. We sail from Annapolis most weekends during the boating season. My wife and I are hoping to go full time cruising next year.

I just posted comments about this on another one of your videos! Duh, I'll explain later. Love these DYI videos. I can't say enough about them or maybe I've already said everything and I don't want to bore you with, yes! LOVED THIS!!LOL 😍! Take Care! 🙏🙏❤️❤️🇺🇸⛵️🤙👍

Great video Harry, have you tried making one end slice and attaching to the mast head before measuring overall length and making the lower splice at the turnbuckle by applying tension with a rolling hitch from a spare piece of line. the splice length is a min length so it wouldn't be crucial as long as its slightly longer as it could be hidden in the sleeve or be trimmed with little waste after it's exited from the sleeve. Could make multiple shroud stays and attach aloft at the same time by setting up temp shrouds with a jury knot and have someone below anchoring the lower tie points. I'm knot picking your work, just thinking of an alternative way to make it easier whilst working aloft.

EZPZ I like to just be a able to work fast without needing to stop and think. Knowing that it's relatively easy to correct for a small margin of error really helps. I'll just to do it exactly you like demonstrated. Thanks 👍

Wonderful video, a great help. What size Dyneema did you use for all your rigging Harry?

I just see your faces, guys, and my mood improves. I hope to see you someday. we miss you so much.

Just wondering can you get a splice through a block? Like for replacing a halyard.

Thanks for the great tutorial. Where do you buy the Dyneema?

What do you think about using anti friction rings on the head stay so you can attach the hanks to them

So how long does phase one last, and under what conditions is that variable, and how can one be confident that it's finished?

Our boats are about the same size and weight..both keel stepped. How thick is your rigging? I was thinking 1/2 inch would do? Do you have a preferred supplier of Dyneema?

How about turnbuckle and lashing, I dont have to worry about it so much.

Herbie, where do you source your 600' rolls of dyneema?

🤣!! ..."when you think you're perfect, that's when you're going to screw up !..."

Please Help! Hi guys it's been a while I've been working on my own boat. I need a little help please. I'm trying to budget and I need a rough idea of how many spools of dyneema that I'm going to need for this girl. I have a CheoyLee 32 off shore. I'm a retired commercial fisherman ... that said this is my first sailboat and I've never done rigging so my question is two parts roughly how much am I going to need to spend in order to replace the rig and roughly how much dyneema and in what sizes?

The choice of no chafe jacket even using soft hanks? I hear various attitudes.

👍!!!

Hey, so I take it by this video that there are no issues running a hank on storm gib on a Dyneema inner forestay? I have not been able to find much online about hanks and chafe and all that. What about Dyneema and roller furlers for headsails? Is that still a no go, or are we getting to the point where that will be possible?

What is the 3rd phase of Dyneema - you never said!
