Re-rigging with downsized Dyneema - how small can you go?

[gregcope]

Be sure that your clutches will cope with 6mm line.

The 6mm line will not go into a clutch.

One end is a stopper knot on the clew end of the boom, into the boom to a ballance block, back to the end of the boom, out via a sheath, to the clue and back down to the boom ending in a spliced loop.

Your point is?

I have 8mm genoa and main halyards through one size of clutch and 6mm reefing lines though another size.
Oh. and for ease of adjustment, I have standard size Harken cleats with fairleads for my clew outhaul and boom vang.

Is that how you spell balance...well I never.
