I was trying to find a topic about the benefits of tapered sheets and halyard. Although I found a few topics, none of them explained the benefits. So probably it's a bit a stupid question.

We are about to replace some sheets and the spinnaker halyard. For that reason we are wondering if there would be any benefit in using tapered solutions. We are sailing a Nacra Inter 18, and sometimes take part in long distance races, just for fun. So there is not much advantage for us for weight reasons.

Is there really a big advantage for handling? Both for mainsheet, spinnaker sheet and halyard?

Is there any influence on the ratteling effect / braking power of the blocks?

Thanks for all input!
