Control Line
2,000# TensileClassic 3-strand Polyester 6mm line offers very little stretch so that the sail can be hoisted tight without fear of overstressing it. This is especially important when sailing at night or in a storm when proper attention cannot be given as to how the sail “looks”. This line can also be used for halyards. It will stretch a bit more than wire, but it does not corrode, fatigue, or snag and cut. Sold per foot.
