I see that quite a few people have chimed in, and I would suggest that 
they all enter their preferences on 
http://alberg30.org/collaborate/RunningRigging to record them for the 
future.  To edit the page, you need to login (using the link at the top 
of the page).  This requirement has pretty much eliminated the spam left 
on the site.

As much as I like the handling characteristics of 1/2 inch line, I've 
found that for halyards and the mainsheet, a maximum of 7/16 inch is 
easier to accomodate in blocks.  Going to blocks that handle 1/2 inch 
well results in ones that are rather oversize for the A30.
