I finally got a chance to put together my references. The real telling thing for me is the graph that plots stretch vs. cost. https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B8pEh5lnvP1ySGpOTUdGRW9xdzQ/edit Josh On Sep 27, 2014 7:33 AM, "David Knecht via CnC-List" wrote: > I need to replace the genoa halya

Thanks Rick, I knew what I liked and why I just didn't have time to find the resource. Sampson warpspeed is a close competitor so which ever is cheaper per foot or meets my color desires is what I use. I particularly like that those high tech lines float. Josh You really need to do all the math,

You really need to do all the math, not just look at the elongation spec. 9mm Crystalyne (3/8 diameter is about the smallest practical for a winch or your hand) has an average break strength of 11500 pounds. So you need 3300 pounds of tension to get 7" of stretch. The average man can generate

Crystalyne has a 1% elongation at 30% of breaking strength. With 60’ of line, that is 7 inches (not that we are normally anywhere near breaking strength). Seems like a lot to me. The higher tech lines are around 0.5-0.6%. Wire is presumable around 0.Dave On Sep 27, 2014, at 8:05 AM, Josh

I replaced all mine with Yale Crystaline. Love the stuff. When rope wears it frays. I can live with that. When wire wears it makes fish hooks. Ouch! Wire also chews up the shives. I can also end for end rope or simply freshen up the ends if needed. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solo
