Line Selection Guide

Upgrading to stronger, lower stretch, high tech line offers many benefits to cruisers and racers alike, including:  less weight aloft; easier to handle lines; better sail shape; and fewer adjustments required.  For halyards, we recommend using Sta-Set X for cruising boats, Sta-Set X Plus for high performance cruisers and casual racers, and V-100 or T-900 for large cruising boats and high performance race boats.
