[Rhodes22-list] Marc B and jib sheets

[Jay Friedland]

Marc, List,
It was mindless of me not to recommend trying Stan first and also not  
changing the subject line (maybe Shpilkes?!?). For anything other  
than the fuzzy braid, check General Boats for standard 3/8" and  
readily available. Actually my main sheet is the original fuzzy braid  
Stan used 12-15 years ago and shows no wear. It's my all-time  
favorite line for grip.
