If you have the Catalina Direct replacement sheaves, 5/16ths seems to work really well. I used to have New England Cordage 3/8ths, but the splices near the shackle were fraying from rolling over the masthead. 3/8ths is really over kill for a C27. If your concerned about going up the stick on 5/16ths, I'm over 200lbs and have done it numerous times without any problems.
I bought most of my running rigging six years ago from Cajun Trading in Canada and the line has held up well. Unless you are a serious racer and want extremely low stretch their line should work just fine. http://www.cajunrope.com/ Dan Hardiman Annapolis, MD C27TR #4149 --- On Tue, 7/28/09, jeremy <[email protected]> wrote: From: jeremy <[email protected]> Subject: [IC27A] Halyard sizes To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, July 28, 2009, 1:57 PM I just picked up my 27 last thursday and it looks like there are a couple of different Halyard sizes on the boat. What size lines should i use for each application. Main, Jib, spinaker? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
