We just finished the Woodenboat Show in Newport - in the flap of getting
ready for that I did not send you a cheque. I will be home tomorrow night -
will send then.

My 2 cents on terminating the halyard - I don't use splices because they can
jam in the throat of the sheave box at the mast head. In my time in
historic replicas I grew to respect seizings and that is what I use. For
many years my braided rope halyards have been terminated by sewing then
seizing... The whole then covered with leather.
