[Sonar] Fw: Jib Sheet

[J.R. (home)]

Hello Fleet,

Steve sent this message regarding jib sheets. 



Hi Guys,



A question came up regarding the length of line to use for a single jib sheet.  Our old one was 31-1/2' long and was longer than we needed.  Our new one is 28' long and it's OK, but maybe a little bit short.  30' would probably be perfect.



Our old sheet was nothing special braided Dacron, 5/16" diameter.  Our new sheet is 8 mm Swiftcord, see the link below.  The 8 mm diameter is a tiny bit larger than 5/16", but runs through the clew blocks fine.  Melissa liked the feel of the Dacron line better, but the Swiftcord doesn't absorb water.



I don't have e-mail addresses for everyone, so I'll leave it up to you guys to pass the info around.



Steve

Hi Steve



the line was swiftcord.  I cannot remember the diameter.  It is available from APS http://www.apsltd.com/Tree/d3000/e846.asp  (not newswift, but swiftcord).
