[quote=Dogboy][quote=dartsailors]My boat’s standing rigging is actually larger than stock, I.e. 3/8 vs 1/4, so hopefully I’ve got additional strength [/quote]
3/8” diameter cable on a beach cat? I assume you’re including the nylon coating in your measurement because most 16-20 foot beach cats use 5/32” diameter rigging. 3/8” or even 1/4” diameter cable (I’m talking about the actual wire rope) would be way overkill.
A while back I actually looked into having custom 3/16” diameter rigging made for my boat with the thinking that the added strength would mean that it would virtually never need to be replaced (it is roughly 50% stronger than 5/32” rigging), but unfortunately the terminal fittings would all have gone up to the next size larger and so they wouldn’t have been compatible with the existing adjusters, shackles, tangs, etc.
