Replacement jib halyard
I bought this to replace the wire/rope jib halyard. The line diameter had to be small enough to fit through to small exit blocks which were designed for stainless steel wire. The Viper had sufficient strength and stiffness to substitute for 1/8” steel wire at a reasonable price.
