[C320-list] Advice on Line (replacement)

Have you tried washing your sheets in the washing mashine?  Put them in a  
pillow case to keep them from knoting up.

Subject: [C320-list] Advice on Line (replacement)

I am replacing some grimy jib sheets and a main sheet on my 320. Any advice  
on make and type of lime to use?

Both of the stock lines are 7/16 diameter and they appear to be of a quality  
similar to the New England Ropes Sta Set.  I recall that I read somewhere  
(during our long wet winter) that someone really likes a specific line from  
Sampson for jib sheets on the C320 and that they were very supple and worked  
well the Lewmar winches.  I can't remember if this reference I read was on  
our C320IA website, 350IA, C34.org, or Sail magazine.  My grimy stock limes  
have been binding in my winches, so upgrading the line during this  
replacement is what I'm am interested in doing.

We use our boat for mostly cruising and some (not serious) club racing.   I  
can't seem to find this reference Sampson line.  So I though I would ask for  
some opinions, advice, and recommendation from my C320IA colleagues on  
brand, type, and size for sheet replacements.  

What do you recommend?

Dave
