I used an Endura Braid Dyneema....interesting part is that's an overall
lighter sheet but because of it's strength, you can go down one size and
make it even lighter..

Correct on it's true value being off the wind, although upwind there's very
little stretch so it goes thru puffs without constant trimming..

Downwind (without pole), it allows the sail to come right up and fill.....

Also, due to it's construction, water does not weigh it down....

Followup question: going to windward there is only a few inches of genny
sheet between the clew and the block - so the weight of that can't make much
difference, can it?  I assume the benefit is when you're off the wind but
not flying spinnaker?

Orlando - hey you got my attention!  I have light spinnaker sheets, and use
them quite often, but it never ocurred to me to use light genny
sheets...duh!

What do you recommend?
