Here's Geodetica sailing in a 12 knot breeze with a crew of four and the new Dyneema rigging. All the stays have stretched a bit and we will have to adjust: no problem!

Dyneema rigging
As anticipated last year, in the last few days we replaced all the steel stays with 4 mm SK78 Dyneema line. The splicing (all the 14 eyes for the forestay, shrouds and bridles) was done by Rocco Sisto, a very expert friend of mine who is the commander of vey high end vessels.
We also bored two scuppers in the cockpit and retouched a few abrasions of the paint.
The picture below is an enlargement to show in more details the bridles
