My new and hot discovery for sheets is Salsa. I have found this stuff is awesome..,
light weight;
very, very easy on the hands
never knots, no matter what
plays beautifully through the blocks
very low or no stretch
and actually has no core

On the F16 I am using 1/4" and is not a problem on the hands at all, but it does feed out faster and easier to cleat and uncleat. I would never go higher than 5/16"
Also using the 1/4" line on the Wave with a 4:1 purchase -- still a piece of cake.

Also, I use the Ratchamatic anywhere I can use one.
Good luck,
Rick
