Rig?
12/09/2018 20:06:54 Scam | Does anyone use the dyneema sk99 or max for standing rigging? If so any tips or warnings? |

23/09/2018 13:18:29 Gareth Griffiths NHRC | You should probably look to use some very small ferrules at the spreader ends unless you fancy fabricating your own spreader tips. In the moth class a number of guys are using old rivets drilled out to give a smooth surface, then just insert into a standard spreader fitting. |
