We installed the main sail halyard this afternoon. Steve did a wonderful job of making the eye splice for the snap shackle. It really looks nice. Thanks Steve.
Afterwards, I spent the time to look over the old halyard line and it was quite worn in a couple of spots. One was near the old eye splice, so I just cut that 4' piece out at the one end. The other frayed spot was at the mast top sheave and it was compromised so I cut this 4' piece out as well. Finally, I whipped the ends of everything and, using my heat shrink torch, resealed all of them too. I now have some pretty good lines for long dock lines and maybe even a lunch hook anchor setup: you can never have too much line.
