Running rigging update

Scoured the web for waxed whipping twine in multiple colors. The idea being to provide Rig Pro with twine to color code lines during the splicing process. Each eye splice receives a whipping where the cover is inserted back into itself. Why not beginning the color coding process here. The tail whippings will match the eye splice whippings. All of the lines on DORADE will be exactly the same color, so any subtle identification will be crucial in the heat of battle on the race course. Note the beautiful bronze snap shackles. These are to replace the stainless steel spar-craft snaps on the old running rigging. A small detail that makes a big difference when the boat is dockside.
