The Aussie Halyard is the new style. I think all new boats come with it. Instead of having lots of cable; it has lots of line. It is suppose to render less mast loading, and the line will stretch in wind gust to let you mast fall off a bit. This is the first season that I have used a Aussie Halyard, and I like it. I am not sure that I can tell much difference in the way my boat performs or handles with it. It is probably better; all of the top racers use the Aussie Halyard. It is Hobie Part Number: 80660000 and cost around $100.00.
