See the attached pics. These are my genoa sheets. New England Ropes Sta-Set, 7/16” diameter. This is after about 4 hours of sailing, although I noticed the core peaking out of the starboard sheet after only a short period of use. I did the eye splices. These are from a group of the first eye splices I’ve done. I felt pretty good about my execution, but obviously I did something incorrectly.
I used Samson fids and instructions. The splices are lock-stitched. Any ideas on what I did wrong? Cut the core off too short? Thanks!
