I have to second Fred's recommendation of Cajun Rope in Canada as a source. Almost all of the rigging on my 25 and a large portion on the 38 were sourced from them. Tha halyards on the 38 are Cajun 7/16 Cajun XLE, which is between Stay Set and Stay set X in strength - and a whole lot stronger than the Yachtbraid originally used by C&C for our 70s vintage boats. My crews are particularly partial to the "fuzzy braid" Cajun line I use, which has a soft cover and great hand.
Before you order Stay Set X, take a look at the braided Spectra core lines at Cajun. 7/16 Spectra core is 9800 pounds strong (which I think is twice as strong) and only $1.83 a foot. You might be able to use 3/8" halyards with fuzzy covers, have less stretch, better holding on winch and clutch, find the braided core easier to splice, and save money at the same time. Cajun are good folks to work with - and they are probably at work today.

Dave, There's nothing wrong with Stat-set-X. It is much better than the regular Sta-set by far. I think Sta-set-X is a great value for what you get. If you like it, stick with it.

I'm in the process of pricing out some items for our boat and one thing that is necessary is a complete replacement of all the running rigging. I did this 14 years ago using an entire roll of Sta-set-X. There was precious little left afterwards so I'm inclined to do the same again. Anyway, I'm out of the performance sailing/hardware loop these days and was wondering what others were using. Like many, I'd like to keep weight aloft as low as possible while at the same time keeping enough hand that crew won't complain. Recommendations?
