Hi, I tried to resurrect the old Lisa Harness line thread but apparently it is too old to do so. So here we go.
I bought a pair of Lisa Harness Lines a couple of months ago, expensive, the finish a bit rough, but they work well at adjusting the length of the lines, very little effort required. One problem is that I use them on a smaller diameter boom in (a 170-220 severne enigma) and they do not stay put but rotate when you take off the boom or store it, so you have to readjust every time ... I'll probably put some tape around the boom to avoid that.
But I am not sure how to fix this another problem. One day, in windy conditions, I jibed tried to hook in but the lines swung away toward the sail. It took me a lot of effort to be able to hook in. Normal lines do not swing away out of reach ... anybody had the same problem? How to fix it? The lines are very light, the plastic tube they come with will probably last a very short time. Change the tube (is it possible?), maybe add a second tube to weight them down?
