How did you hide the rope ends on clews an cringles?I vote for no rolling under and sewing. The bolt rope is visible on the edge of the sail.
Good evening Vic...no way! All 200+ of them? Cheers GrantThe holes in the deadeyes aren’t big enough to thread the lanyards through. View attachment 318385
It’s easier and quicker than trying to thread them through even when I coat the end with ca. I’m already using the thinnest thread I have to replace the supplied rope.Good evening Vic...no way! All 200+ of them? Cheers Grant
Good morning Vic. True story. A bit disappointing these kits sometimes - give us extra work. The good thing is those lanyards will tension easier as well.
