[C320-list] Jib Halyard Recommendations

[Dennis Harris]

Herb,

I've only replaced my mainsail halyard to date, but I used Samson XLS Extra 
T Double Braid (last year replacement).  24 Strand braided polyester cover 
with braided core made of blend of MFP and SK-60 Dyneema.  1.0% stretch at 
20% break strength.  I am not a racer.  Purchased from Defender. Selected it 
from Samson chart.....see the current Defender (2011) catalog. It has a 
recommendation chart for Samson.  I've been happy so far.

I did all of mine around that same time.  I can't remember exactly who I 
ordered from and it may have been Defender, but I did also order shackles, 
etc.  When my stuff came in it came from Fisheries Supply in Seattle 
(They're not who I ordered from.)  Since then, I've ordered a lot of stuff 
directly from Fisheries Supply, and they do a good job.

Thanks Chuck,
This does not seem to be a popular request, should have named it battery 
replacement, or battery recharger.

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.
