I only need a little bit tapered on the retreival end, but your probably right, it'd only be a very little. I just want to reduce the friction against the sail.
Any chance you have the measurements of your halyard or should I email Mike?
I've got Paraloc rope making me a halyard and donating other stuff for the Tybee so i'm going to take whatever they give me
It is all pretty sweet stuff though and well suited to taking abuse.
Already got Holmenkol supplying me with product for the Tybee as well.
