Just my 2cents, beware lines with 1/2-polypropylene covers. Yes
they are light, but the don't stand-up to winchdrum friction very
well. We found we were coloring our winch drums from the slipping
at the start of a tack (the easing part). Since you will likely
always trim to about the same position going upwind, this friction-
induced wear will continually occur at the same point on the sheet.
Perhaps different or additional cover at these points would be a
good compromise?
