Double braid UHMWPE Core and 24 plait polyester cover line is used for the ropes. A portion of cover is removed and tapered to the core and the end is a spliced eye. You can install your own shackles, without having to buy new ones, which makes these cost-efficient. No need to re-splice it when the shackle needs to be replaced/changed. 

The shackle can be quickly attached and detached by securing it with a cow hitch. The shackle can be easily cow-hitched by threading it through the loop. You won’t have to pass the entire length of the line through the loop. The loop at the end of this product is quite big, making it very easy to replace the shackle.

When replacing the halyard, you’ll be able to pass the new halyard into the mast by sewing a new halyard onto the old halyard and pulling the new halyard in with the old halyard. This product has a small loop at the end of the rope made of durable Dyneema thread. Tying this on the end of the old halyard allows you to replace halyards without any hassle.

We recommend the 8mm halyard on boats up to 29feet and 10mm for boats from 30 to 36feet in length. The actual application will change a bit depending on your boat and the use of the boat.

Break Load on the base rope (with cover) is

for the 8mm Halyard is: 1800kg, 

for the 10mm Halyard is: 3500kg

Not, the splicing and stripped cover reduces these loads by about 15% in our testing.
