[swampcreek42]

The manual states 115', other cordage sites state differently, do you remember if this was the size?

I replaced mine a few years ago and used Samson XLS Extra T.  It's a lot
less expensive than the lines you mentioned, but still very low stretch.  As
I recall, bought them through Defender.

It's time to replace my main and jib halyard. The main is starting to chafe
so that's definitely getting changed. The jib halyard was recently replaced
by the PO but is a larger diameter of 7/16s (?) and gets hung up when taking
the sail down at the end of the season. Anyway, I have found a BUNCH of
choices, regular Samson, New England V100, T900, Endura, etc. (Currently
looking hard at NE V-100). I'm posting here for advice from anyone who has
done this and what experience or suggestions would they have before I spend
some major cash on something I might regret later.
Thanks,Bruce Hunter?Nauti Time #719?
