[Public-List] Jib sheet replacements

[Gordon Laco]

There’s plenty of strength in either diameter… but bear in mind that thicker line is nicer in the hand when pulling hard.  3/8” is pretty thin for sheets, although the lighter weight might be appreciated when sailing in light air.

I’d normally recommend that 1/2” is minimum
