*This list is supplied by Hall Spars Rigging, who supply the original equipment on boats produced by the Primary Builder.

All minimum breaking strengths for running rigging,and control lines are base breaking loads with no additional safety factors for handling considerations. All lines should be chosen to give an acceptable factor of safety above the minimum breaking strengths listed here. Appropriate factors of safety should be determined by the wear, stretch, handling, holding, intended use and splicing requirements of the lines.
