I bought a new spin, old halyard seems to short (bought the boat recently) makes my spin a "BUTT" shape. It's about 75' and I read 85' is recommended starting point? found a source that said get 86' of covered spectra 5mm or 3/16" PLEASE could someone point me to a link where I can buy the proper line? having a bear of a time looking for it in proper size and length. thanks Ron |

Ron- There is a thread under the F18 section of catsailor that talks about this a bit. Should be easy to find although its not Tiger specific. I've been looking at one of the 5mm spectra double-braids, to pull the core out on, but a good friend has used a Dyneema blend Mafioli with a dyneema section spiced from the head to the halyard block. Said it was much simpler to make, doesn't have twisting issues, and is still friendly to the spin, preventing burns. Jeff |
