Making Dyneema Shrouds

1. Measure original Hartley shrouds, chainplate and chainplate adjusters.
  (a) chainplate adjusters set at 2 15/16" above to of chainplate
  (b) line up all shrouds
  (c) Hartley shrouds tball to bearing surface = 176 3/8"
  (d) cut dyneema rope to 19 ft each
2 15/16"
long view of measuring on floor line up the shroudsHartley shrouds are 176 3/8"
dyneema shrouds need 19' of rope


2. Attach dyneema to t-ball fittings, and prestretch dymeena, putting it under bearing load of at least 190 pounds.  Dyneema needs braids need to "set"

3.  Stitch the tball loops to secure.

4.  Given the Hartley shrouds are 176 3/8" and chainplates are 2 15/16", the length of the dyneema to the top of chainplate is 179 5/16"

5.  Stitch a colored thread at 24" above chainplate for future mark, at 155 5/16"
