Every time you tack the jibsheet will attempt to wrap itself around the cleat. The lanyard will hold with some turns around itself and some half hitches - I use this setup on the forestay of a Hartley TS18 and it works perfectly, very strong and no stretch. I replaced the lanyard after 5 seasons when the outer covering started to show signs of wear.Graemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10749499506336931313noreply@blogger.com
