[C320-list] running rigging recommendations

[Mark Cole]

I did tie the jib halyard on with a tight bowline.  Sta-set X is stiffer, but the knot has been holding just fine.

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.

>> I use Sta-set for my main halyard and sheets, but I use Sta-set x for the jib halyard because I have roller furling so the headsail stays up most of the time.  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!
