Our top end of the reacher halyard has to be replaced due to chafing. (We moved the swivel upwards to get a better angle away from the forstay but it was probably tool late). Does anybody know how long the reacher halyard has to be?  |

Why not cut it back and splice a new eye? ------------- Leon / ARCADIA 2018 Hanse 588 Sag Harbor, NY |

That was my first idea, too. But he rigger tells me he will loose about 1 m to make a new eye splice and then it is too short. |
