I converted Rejoyce! to a wireless halyard a couple years ago. Glad I did, much better and easier. I used 44' of XLE polyester double braid, no more stretch than the wire. Whip one end, eye splice the other with a hole just big enough to accommodate your pin. I used <www.rwrope.com/> as my source of supply, recommend them. My contact there was Rod McCollester, very helpful. <rod@rwrope.com> RW will do the whipping and splice for a price, of course. John R.
