Re: Considering eye thimbles and sleeves for standing rigging.
Cal 20? Don't have the proper swaging tool for SS?



I'm not a proponent of Dyneema for standing rigging in many cases, but this is one of those case where you should take the time to learn about it. I would do that before compromising with wire rigging terminators.
