All our hardware fits the lines so we don't have that


problem...we are

going to downsize the jib sheets when they come up for


replacement

(soon)...they are jsut too fat...I have broken so many


fingers and my

left hand was crushed when I was working with horses, so


have lots of

arthritis...the larger lines help....



Do you have ST winches? My jib sheets are fat (7/16'' I
think) , but nice and soft. I bought a smaller dia line, but
it didn't hold well in the ST winch. Put the old ones back
on.

Ours are almost too fat for the ST winches and sometimes have
problems..that's why going down a notch...and yes, ours are nice and
soft, too...
