[C320-list] Jib halyard replacement [was something else!]

[Scott Thompson]

Agreed, especially on a roller furler where the extra stiffness of 
Sta-Set-X is not as much of a liability because the sail isn't going up 
and down very often.  However be aware that Sta-Set-X has a linear core, 
which is why it has less stretch, but it requires special splicing 
instructions.  It's actually easier to splice than regular double-braid, 
but you need to know how.  Instructions are on the NE Ropes web site, or 
at least they used to be when I last had a need.
