[Rhodes22-list] Running Rigging FAQ

[Wally Buck]

Mark,

I think it is a great idea. Perhaps GB would be able to provide the specs 
for the basics; halyards, jib sheets, main sheet, back stay adjuster, and 
IMF furling lines. I realize that through the years things have changed but 
I would think most of the running rigging specs have been constant.

Right now I want to order two new halyards, spinnaker sheets, spinnaker 
uphaul & downhaul, furling line for Harken Furler, and jib sheets.

I was thinking of ordering line from Sail Net; they have no shipping or 
sales tax. If anyone has any suggestions on other (cheaper) sources for line 
please let me know.

Wally
