[Rhodes22-list] Jib Sheet sizes and type

[Lloyd Crowther]

Wally,

I replaced my jib sheet on 8/21/01 with 60' of 3/8" SAMSON/Xls SOLID COLOR
YACHT B, BLK W/WHIT TRACER from Defender for $0.56 a foot after my old sheet
began to pop out of my standard clam cleats.  Solved the problem and works
very well.  Probably shouldn't mention this but I leave my mast up all
winter with the jib furled, now I put the old jib sheet on over the winter
to reduce the weathering on my new jib sheet.

Lloyd
