You may want to get the 6' cable covers that look like white soda straws 
from West Marine, I think they are about a buck or two,
and I think the size you want is 1/8".  They will help keep your 
headsail clean, as your cables tend to collect grime over time.
Also, the cable covers will help extend the life of your headsail, as 
they are smoother than raw cable.
