Rigging

We've renewed all the serving on the rigging. The serving we've used is white braided polypropylene which works well but is not very UV proof - possibly worse than the natural fibre (parcel string?) that it replaces. We painted the aloft stuff with a thinned black acrylic, mostly to dull it down but with the hope of providing some UV protection.

Three of the wire loops were unusual. The strands had been un-laid and three brought each way round to make the loop and re-laid. I tried splicing the ends in a bit better with mixed success but much learning.
