Measure out 7 cords of Kevlar/Dacron with little "S" hooks on the end. The cords should be
128 inches long, including the hooks. The Kevlar is very strong and will not stretch and the
Dacron covering provides resistance to UV radiation. Use the crimps instead of knots.
You will need an intermediate cord between the two front spreaders. Make this cord 90 inches
long but don't use hooks; instead put a cable tie on each end that will be used to wrap around
the spreader at about the 15 M band.
You can use plain Dacron instead of Kevlar but it stretches more and you need to pull it a bit
before measuring. Also, using knots instead of the crimps is fine.
