APS Spring 2012 : Page 97THISTLE Thistle Main and Jib Halyards Lightweight, hard wearing, extremely low stretch, and very racy. Our Thistle halyards are made of 5/32”, FSE Robline Dinghy Control (100% Dyneema core, polyester cover) spliced to a small RaceLite 382AWL shackle. With the cover pulled back, the core is run through the center line hole on the top of the shackle, then around the body and back out the center hole into a brummel splice. The cover is then slid up flush with the shackle and seized in place for a very clean termination. The bitter end is whipped. These halyards are cleated and do not use a halyard lock. THISTL100 Main Halyard $55.66 THISTL110 Jib Halyard $48.84 Seitech Dolly A double center line and double axle configuration that makes on shore boat handling much easier. “F-Fat wheels are 19” x 9.5”. Boat balances with minimal tongue weight for easy transport -just make sure to tie the bow down overnight. UPS oversized shipping applies. Part # SETHISTLEFW Description Fat Wheel Price $1,240.00 Stripped Vectran Thistle Main and Jib Halyards Mainsail Tack Slug Upgrade Kit Both halyards are made using 1/8” Vectran single braid covered with 1/4” New England Sta-Set cover where cleated and handled. Both ends are whipped. The main halyard has a stopper ball on the end. Just pass a loop through the sail and around the stopper ball for maximum hoist every time. The jib halyard length is set up to exit the mast, run through a single, below deck purchase block and cleat on the deck. The main halyard is set up to cleat on the mast just above the deck. Give us a call for custom lengths. THISTL101 Main Halyard $83.95 THISTL111 Jib Halyard $78.09 Developed by Greg Fisher for the 2009 rule change making tack slugs legal -this kit will allow you to retro-fit a slug onto an older mainsail. Greg helped us get the perfect shackle to get the length just right. Improve your sail shape and make it easier to put the bottom of the luff rope in, saving wear and tear on your sail. Kit includes tack slug and shackle. THISTL900 $8.72 Forestay Tension Lever Thistle Spinnaker Halyard We like Marlow Super PreStretch and the FSE Robline 8 Plait Pro for spinnaker halyards due to their slightly firmer feel (run great during a takedown). FSE Dinghy Control offers premium no-stretch performance. These are simply cut lengths. We suggest 45’ when cleated on the mast above deck. If your halyard system is led aft just order whatever length you need for your setup.
