Video: Stretching our DIY Mizzen Dyneema shrouds and chainplates
Our next video is live!
We have finished splicing all 6 mizzen shrouds (technically 4 plus 2 forestays) plus the 2 running backstays as well as all 8 chainplate loops.
Now all the shrouds & stays need to be stretched to tighten the splices where the weave was opened when creating them.
The chainplate loops have both splices and the knot to be tightened.
We do all this in our back garden where we built a timber runway for the task of stretching our dyneema stuff.
