[C320-list] Furling Line

[Scott Thompson]

Chris:  Don't use the StaSet X if you are going to strip the core. 
StaSet X has a very loose cover and almost all of the strength is in the 
core.  Unfortunately, since StaSet X has a linear core it's also 
unsuitable for use with a stripped cover.  The core will fall apart 
without the protection of the cover.  You will have to switch to 
something else to implement your plan.  (That's probably what you had in 
mind already.)
