GL - on your post of "Rope for Various Lines" I think that I see that you use 3/16" Samson Ultra-Lite for your spinnaker sheets. Is that right? So are you attaching you sheets to the spinnakers as described above?
I don't have have any 3/16' line, but looked at how to tie an Ashley stopper knot like Tom mentions earlier in this post with 6mm line today and it seems like the stopper knot tied with 3/16" will not be very large, i.e. not larger than the grommet hole. Maybe I'm wrong about that. What type of stopper knot are you tying?
Piffle - what size line are you using for your sheets?
Any pictures would be great
Thanks!
