[Rhodes22-list] Rhodes22-list Digest, Vol 1163, Issue 1

[Bud]

Marc,
  Stan's tome says 65' (page 7) .  I replaced mine a year ago with 
Stayset line, and went with 7/16".
I think I got mine at Layline.com.  If you want to get fancy you could 
get one green sheet (32') and
one red sheet (32').  This makes it easy when you are giving commands to 
any novices on board.

Welcome aboard!
