Dj,

You can find a lot of good information regarding synthetic rigging 
at a Yahoo Group called "F boats." (Farrier trimarans)  Also, find 
an internet site called "precourt."  You'll learn about spectra 
rigging at those sites.

I use high mol. wt. poly. for my halyards and for my spinnaker pole 
bridle lines.   Good stuff!  I also use it for suspension lines on a 
righting system I invented.  One Ninth the weight of equivilant 
steel cable.

GARY
