I wonder if you could have pulled yourself up the stay with the halyard and used electrical tape to tape the strands down. Then you could carefully hoisted the jib. Or were you worried that it might put too much load on the stay?
I have an extra halyard outside of the mast. I might have tried to used both ends of that to to the bow to reinforce that stay. I am a novice and just wonder if that may have helped.

@ny1t Had I been more experienced and less cautious, I might have set the jib flying, without hanking it to the stay. As it turned out, the root cause was defective wire. We later discovered that the back stay was worse than the head stay. When we took the rig down in Port Townsend, we found that there were five broken strands in the head stay and six in the back stay. Had we done anything that put more strain on the rig it might have come down.

Enjoyable videos. However, after the 25th stomach purge, I've learned to skip to the new video before proceeding. Looking forward to the rest of your videos though.

you will be relieved to know that as of Day 18 I have omitted the "Barf tag" although My seasickness actually persisted through Day 21.
