J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Spin Pole Bridle in spectra

So OK .. I had some problems with the bridle and a Nicopress fitting 6 months ago and decided to just bowline on a piece of spectra. We have a heavy spin program here in Naples over the winter. I'm happy with the results ... minor wear ... but if I have to, I can cut six inches off and retie. While we hear of some slipping on these lines's knots ... none to report.

Also this season we had a shackle holding the main sheet on a F-31 blow and just tied it back on with a piece of Spectra instead of the steel shackle ... worked fine.

Got to keep some of this stuff on board emergency supply kit.
