Question for those who have undertaken their own standing rigging:
Got some 1x19 1/8” stainless wire, ferrules and thimbles— great purchase from rigging supply, but I’m a bit surprised by the thimbles. I looked up specs from various suppliers and my dimension seems to ring true. Just feels like this will be a pretty tight turn on a fairly stiff cable and subject to splaying. Anyone care to share your experience? ID and OD dimensions below:
