Sta-Set Polyester Double Braid - A true multi-purpose line used for sheets and controls on a wide range of boats from 420s and Flying Scots to keelboats. A high quality line with superior durability and dependability. This is an extremely flexible, easy to splice (has an inner and outer core), long wearing line which is ideal for all types of running rigging - sail sheets, furling lines... A special tension setting process is used during manufacturing to remove most of the residual elongation, while adding dimensional stability. This assures that this rope will maintain the same easy handling qualities throughout its service life.

How much Line? Genoa sheets are generally 1.5 times the length of a boat. For non-overlapping jibs, one boat length is usually enough. Spinnaker sheets are usually twice the length of a boat. We recommend measuring all other running rigging.
