My spin halyard keeps twisting and kinking, most often on the takedown, which causes it to hang up going through the tramp gromet, ruining what should be a quick, clean snuff. What type line are you guys using for the halyard? Mine is the standard red covered line that looks just like the line in the pictures Pete posted under the "internal downhauls" thread below.

I have seen some spinnaker halyards made of dyneema, with no cover at all, and it seems very supple, maybe it won't kink up so much? Any problems with it getting cut or damaged rubbing on mast fittings and such?

And Wouter, how about posting some pictures of the Party over there?? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
