[quote=afvenom]Thanks for the reply, I have two boats and have none of the mailsheet blocks/pulleys etc. I know in Austrailia they use a 10:1 and I think factory is 7:1. I prefer heavy wind sailing and suspect 8:1-10:1 might be how I shoud set it up. I am looking for used parts and can maybe mix a few new if needed. What say you?

I am looking at Yale maxibraid+ for the mainsheet[/quote]
I use Yale Maxibraid plus in 5/16 for my mainsheet. It's similar in the hand to polyester double braids like Samson's XLS and New Englands Sta-Set. I've used it to do several tapered main sheets for other sailors in my local cat club, both in 5/16 and 3/8 diameters.[/quote][/quote]
