Our furling line for the in mast has finally worn out. We hired someone to replace it but his splice has lost it's core around the splice, leaving only the outer braid. Has anyone had this problem and how was it resolved. Can we just simply use the outer braid in that section even though it is compromised? We have 3 months left in the sailing season and would like to do some cruising soon but aren't comfortable with the line as it is. Thanks, Peg
