Could have made this a poll but...here goes

The "other" sailboat shop already has New England and won't allow the "new kids on the block" to carry it too (even though they're 40 miles away) even went so far as to suggest we buy it from our competitors??? I don't think so.

This a bummer 'cause I really like their stuff, so if you can't carry New England Ropes what line would be your choice?

Thanks in advance

$$$$$

samson has apex at 1.7/ft of 5/16
swiftcord 2.0/ft of 5/16
newswift 2.26/ft
so I guess there isn't a huge difference...

Nacra changed from NE ropes to Alpha for all new boats from this year onwards.

Samson has a minimum $30K initial order <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Any other domestics worth a look? Yale maybe? Who am I missing?
