We have changed the wire part of the runners to dyneema in order to reduce chafing on the mainsail. The breaking load of the rope is slightly higher than that of the wire that was installed before. Instead of terminals, the rope is spliced so the bolt on the mast runs through an eye ... the rope needs to be checked every once in a while, but for the last two years (that is when we changed it) has never caused any problem. Zero. We are completely satisfied with the solution.
