Dyneema boat cradle supports

Today we have added the diagonal supports to our boat cradle to stop any chance of the new legs bending sideways towards the narrower part of the hull.

We have used 6mm dyneema with locking brummel eye splices lined with stainless thimbles.

Coarse length adjustment is with a 2.5mm dyneema lashing. Fine adjustment uses the original turnbuckles from the mizzen mast.

Jane did the 8 eye splices in about 3 hours.
