[C320-list] running rigging recommendations

[Jason Reynolds]

My wife and I replaced our line 3 seasons ago. We purchased from R and W Rope. They have lots of colors, the price is good and they will splice as well.

I just attached a small messenger line to the old halyard, pulled in through the mast, attached messenger line to new halyard, and pulled the new halyard through. It took about 3 minutes.

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!
