Posts: 118 St. Louis, MO | I'm a recent convert to any of the Composite single braids. For a "near" complete listing you can check Layline at http://www.layline.com/llf/cats/cord_05/Composite_gray.htmI'm using Salsa for my Spin halyard, Apex for my Spin sheets (my wife/crew loves them...soft on hands, pliable, lightweight and they don't kink easily). Layline does not have listed, but does also sell Robline Racing sheet which is another of this class. I am using that as a mainsheet / traveler line with a piece of dyneema doubled over and spliced in for the rear beam traveler line tie-off. So far...I love it!! Mafiolli staretd this whole lineup with Swiftcord, but they continue to be the most expensive, and I have found all of them to be comparable, so I'd recommend finding whatever (of the single braid composites) is on sale and go for it. (and no...I don't work for Layline...)

Posts: 829 Charleston, SC | V-100 is too stiff for a mainsheet. I think you are referring to Dyneema Racing 2, Jake? The "ice" is actually called Robline "Racing Sheet." I like the racing sheet with spectra spliced to it.
Oh yeah, I'm in St. Thomas right now, on the beach, with a H16, a N5.8, and a Nacra 20, along with 6 of my good sailing friends. Man I love college...........

Dave Ingram put together a nice little line spec sheet, I think I have a link to it at the powergroove site somehwere, or he can chime in, Dave, you out there somewhere? Mike, I need some NACRA parts bro....Im calling you today, you around the shop?
