Yeah Joe,
Real sailors use three strand HEMP! Joe it's time to come into this

Hemp is tried and true..but I use nylon for sheets, cept the 100% jib
sheet it's big high tech, and the halyards they are stainless. I'm not
racing and like a bit of forgiveness. Nylons cheap and a pleasure to
work with.


Nylon for sheets? You must be mistaken, Dacron maybe but surely not
stretchy nylon.
