A guy from our club is changing all the wires on his hobie Tiger for some vectran or something composi mumbo jumbo line. Load capacity specs are higher than steel wires, and they weight a lot less. We still have to see him sail though...



He even changed the forestay and the sidestays!!!

Funny thing is it costs more to do the ends with the metal loops ( épissures en français ) than all the line lenghts...



I'll keep you informed about how it's holding, our water spot is not of a forgiving nature.
