FWIW, I have a set of genoa sheets made from 3/8" red MaxiBraid. which I got for racing. I spliced luggage tags into one end and use a soft schackle to attach to the sail. Chose Red to help prevent a problem when crew stood on the tail of the sheet being released, and the genoa caught on a spreader tip. "don't stand on the red line". This line size worked OK but needed an extra wrap on winches so I wouldn't recommend it for cruising.
