Coltrek came with fat sheets, and I have always replaced them with the same - I think 5/8", as I don't think 3/4 would fit in #32 self tailer. Wire always seems thinner than it is, and rope always seems thicker that it appears, for some reason.
Just looked it up, 5/8" Sta-Set Dbl Braid, NER2100.20 Been working fine for 10 years. Got them from Oyster Bay, they always pre-stretch all their work. Before that I had a local fellow make some up, also 5/8 but very soft and stretchy - I took his recommendation, but discovered later he was just trying to get rid of it. Both splices eventually came out, one when I was just rolling the sail up. Last purchase from him!

I'm not sure of the size, but they are bigger than 1/2, super fat and great on the hands. But they do not run through the blocks well and act like they are caught just from their weight and softness. I have Barient 32s. I am all for comfortable sheets, but really want ones that also work. Any recommendations?
