[Rhodes22-list] Clanging Mast

[Graham Stewart]

I agree with Mary Lou the wire ties work best. I saw this recommended in a
sailing magazine many years back and it was a very elegant and inexpensive
solution for me. The big advantage with them is that they do not create a
barrier for other wires you might want to have share the inside of the mast.
Put them on tight in groups of three and facing in different directions - 12
o'clock , 5 o'clock and 8 o'clock  about every 5 feet. I would use ones that
are stiff enough to ensure that the weight if the wire flopping back and
forth does not overwhelm them.

We used zip ties around the wires with the tails pointing outward on the
theory that they would deteriorate less and the wires would be easier to
remove if/when we needed to work on them again or if we wanted to run
another wire. That was quite some time ago - think we got the idea from the
list.
