I just woke up !



But seriously, I'm so involved in talks to designers and parties in order to make the F16 an trully international class with more than 3 builders that I don't get out much on the open forum anymore.



Anyways I don't have much to what is already said. Yes Vectra or so is a strong material and I trapeze of it. Yes, the strength is much reduce when looped or knotted unlike steel and nicopress fittings. Weigth reduction versus air resistance, humm good one. Yes, the wear on steel wires is much easier to see. Vectra and sorts can wear from the inside and break before anything is noticed.



I use these line for my trapeze line and spi pole rigging and what not else but I'm personally not comfortable yet with using it as standing rigging or as diamond line. A line that is onder tension is easy to cut by knife or other sharp object.



That is all
