yeah, but to take full advantage of having a split tail, the split must enter the rollers on the traveler and end just before the cleat when centered.


Makes sense, I find it hard to tie them correctly so that happens. I think I will redo it tonight when I am ignoring the idiots that come see me at 3am for stupid crap <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Oh and while we are on the subject and deviating from the original post... what type of lock stitch or method do you use (or whoever may have done your split tail) to lock the point at which the core comes out of the tail? I do the standard whiplock in/out x3 but also run the core back through the cover once. I tried the heat shrink tubing- bad idea, doesn't thread up the car very well at all.
