I quess we have Swiftcord 4-5 mm now but it wore out quickly. Any tips ?

Also, on the same subject. Any line tips for the "bottom part" of the Marstroem trapeze system, and the adjustment system? The lines that come standard with Infusion are no good. Guys with kilos should change immediately.

(Indeed a very happy Infusion owner) <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Robline 4mm racing sheet spliced to 12strand for the halyard. I don't know the F18 lengths off the top of my head, but I'm sure some smart guy will come along soon and pipe up.

Spinny halyard = 3.8mm Spyder Line, no taper needed IMO. Runs clean, wears well, no stretch.

However, very easy to taper and the core is very nice and smooth. I use the same for my boat.
