Well, it was about time that this happened as I knew it would at some point. :angry-cussingblack:

I cut right through one of my shrouds trying to cut off a piece of rigging line. Trying to repair it made it look worse than ever - not only that I lost my tension in that Shroud too.

However, the only good outcome is that it is the last aft Shroud (which would be the top loaded one on the mast) - so refitting should be in order. This sets me back - I don't like being set back - I finally got my Futtocks in order - then I cut my Shroud.

Arrggg !!!

Been there done that... AFTER RATLINING. It truly SUCKS, and was not easy to graft some thread fibers into the cut ends and glue secure them in place with glue while maintaining the shroud tension. The process took an hour to recover from. Sooner or later we all make mistakes of this kind. Cautious
