Hey there...

It's time to replace the mainsheet on the Hobie 16. I'm pretty sure I need 44 feet of line, but I was wondering what diameter most are using for 6:1 Block systems. In addition, what are the popular lines these days?

I'm very pleased with New England Ropes Sta-Set Polyester Yacht Braid.

9mm Robbline was expensive and worked like a dream.
There is a New England equivalent.

8mm Salsa and 40 feet is long enough
