<p>Making splices in dyneema introduces slack when you open up the line. The standard procedure is to account for that in your measurements and then stretch the lines after splicing.</p>
<p></p>
<p>For example, I used 6mm dyneema for my dolphin stay. I spliced each end with 18 inch tail bury. I measured so that the stay was actually 4 inches (two inches for each splice) shorter than needed. And then stretched the stay using a come-along. It did indeed stretch 4 inches back to the specified…</p>

And then stretched the stay using a come-along. It did indeed stretch 4 inches back to the specified length. But even with a lot of pressure it would not stretch beyond that. I'll attach a pic of stretching that dolphin stay. It took a few hours of applying pressure and letting it sit and then coming back and applying more pressure.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I think you probably need to stretch your lines after splicing and before putting on the boat.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Hope that helps,</p>

<p>Maybe the best decision! I liked the idea, found that Wharram used it on his own boat. But after two and half year of building, I didn't need another chalenge.</p>
<p>I like your website by the way, have fun with yourboat,</p>

<p>Hi Eric,</p>
<p>I have no experience with Dyneema standing rigging. However, I have done a lot of research while planning my own new rigging and found that many people struggle to maintain rig tension because of "creep" in new dyneema. It put me off and I have decided to stick with 7X7.</p>
