popeye2sea Posted April 6, 2013 Share #1 Posted April 6, 2013 I understand that the stays are usually wormed, parceled, and served from a point below the mouse up to the eye turned in to its end. My question is this....is the eye itself served over or is it left uncovered? Quote Henry Laissez le bon temps rouler !

twintrow Posted April 6, 2013 Share #2 Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Served. With a mouse stopper. PS A main point in serving a line, is to reduce the effects of abrasion against any nearby surface. So since the stays are looped over the masts they would be served all along the loop as well. Edited April 6, 2013 by twintrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeye2sea Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted April 6, 2013 Perhaps I need to clarify. The eye splice that is stopped by the mouse...is it also served over like the stay?

twintrow Posted April 6, 2013 Share #4 Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Here is a pic of the preventer stay, it represents how each of the stays would be served. Yes, the eye is also served. Sorry I missed that to begin with. Click on the pic to enlarge. You can se the eye, the mouse clearly, and the eye served. good luck Tom Edited April 6, 2013 by twintrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
