[MHml] Slack suckers

[Glenn Brodie]

All these ideas are great for "Slack Suckers"

Since I believe Sonrisa is pretty close to Indigo in size (42' cat) -
what length seemed to work well? - I know, the longer the better, but to
try to keep the mess down, I'd like to keep it as short as I can. It
appears that I can run either forward or back basically perpendicular to
the shrouds.

See photo of sister ship:

I have an outer shroud that goes almost to the top, and an inner that
goes to the mast where the spreader meets, so they are at different
angles. I was thinking of putting a small block on one shroud and
running the bungee through it to the other. Or maybe I am better off
just letting it run by the one with a wrap around it to minimize
kinking.

Dyform SS wire is supposed to be especially sensitive to kink loading,
which is why they put a hinge in mine.  I tied 1/2" bungee directly to
Sonrisa's 1x19 wire without a problem or a visible kink.
