Yes, Flightline looks like a really nice line. I haven't tried it personally, but it has a thin SK75(dyneema) core and a nice grippy polypropolene cover. It seems to have been designed with spinnakers in mind and I expect we'll see a lot of it around.

A while back, I bought a box of knitted kevlar gloves with nitrile coating on the palms & fingers (for handling cut glass). Maybe I should try those instead of my Harken gloves sometime...
