Vic - my sheaves are AL. Layline stripped the halyard and spliced the whole thing. I've also used Dave Smith at Milwaukee Rigging on eBay with good success for both fabricated halyards and buying line.

Staset-X can't be stripped if you go with the stripped halyard approach. The 3/8" 100 feet length is correct.

On Sailing Anarchy, it's reported that Layline may be no longer - too bad. Henry Mallard at Layline used to be a J/30 owner and they contributed to the 2008 NAs as sponsors.

Come on back and sail with us on the bay tomorrow. 40 degrees, raining, winds sustained 30, gusting to 40!
