Did you splice the jib halyard shackle on? My halyard shackles have 
always been attached with knots and I don't know whether Sta-Set X takes 
a knot. I know it can be spliced, but the splice is different from the 
usual double braid and kind of a pain to do because of the linear core. 
I did one of those splices years ago for the jib halyard on my earlier boat.

Sta-set x stretches less than standard Sta-set so is recommended for halyards on roller furling setups.  Your local chandlery should have most colors than white...

Last time I shopped for line at WM its seemed that apart from high tech lines the only choice was white NE Ropes Staset. I'd like a choice of colors!
