Yeah that was kind of my afterthought since posting my original idea. I remember the boat used to have a dyneema line holding my Jib blocks in place. the line is so slippery that it would come loose and I would have to tighten it every time I went out.
Then there's the whole issue of it wearing out easily when it rubs against any surface.
I have two booms. One is rigged with a 7/16 mainsheet and the other with something like 3/8th mainsheet. I have been using the one with the smaller mainsheet and using that for the traveler. I guess I'll just continue doing that and see how the lube/sanding works for me. I went to west marine to get 5/16th, but it doesn't look noticeably smaller than the small mainsheet I already have. Not 10 dollars worth of difference, for sure.[/quote]
