Making Sta-loks for your rigging is really quite simple. Follow these few steps and you'll have no trouble. Not shown in this video is cutting the wire to length. But that's just common "measure twice, cut once" sense. We sized up the old Stalok with the wire to get precise measurements. We redid our rig 6 months after we bought our Norseman 447. We also replaced all the chainplates. We did however reuse the Sta-lok turnbuckles and externals. This vital component of a safe sailing vessel should be done about every 10 years.
