Thanks for pointing that out about Sta Set X and I stand corrected. Sta Set X is used primarily for halyards and should not be used for jib sheets as it is too stiff. XLS is a better choice for jib sheets or regular Sta Set. Another excellent line for sheet use is the Salsa line from New England. The 10MM size would be appropriate for our boats and it is incredibly soft and pliable. I use it on my jib furling and traveler lines. It is pricier than the others but maybe... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (garrywillis) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/6399 Wed, 31 Oct 2007 16:52:47 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/6398/t/Genoa-Sheet-Lines.html#reply-6398 feeds@yuku.com (tomca) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/6398 Wed, 31 Oct 2007 15:24:46 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/6397/t/Genoa-Sheet-Lines.html#reply-6397
I will problaby use 7/16 or 1/2 inch Endura braid, or similar.

I agree with you. On our last boat, a C400, I replaced the jib sheets with Sta-Set X. It is very stiff, and it was not very friendly to handle or to winch. I would not do it again. If a low-stretch line is wanted, then a better choice might be a smaller size of one of the super-high-tech materials. For me, ordinary Sta-Set or the equivalent is fine.

Lighter lines allow the sail to remain full in lighter conditions.
