[C320-list] Jib Halyard Recommendations

[Chuck and Kathy Mueller]

Herb - I bought halyards from Defender.com three years ago.  I also 
purchased new shackles and had them put an eye in one end and a reeving eye 
in the other end.  I specified Samson XLS extra which is a very reasonably 
priced low stretch line.  At that time the cost was $1.21/ft plus $33 for 
the splicing and $11.99 for a headboard shackle.  Both the main and jib 
halyard were 117 ft. long.
