I, Josh, found this on my internet travels: "I was taught (by an English race crew) that Mainsail controls are always green, jib sails blue and spinnakers red. Halyards are solid colors and sheets, outhauls etc. flecked or with tracers. (By following this convention, crews are able to move from boat-to-boat without having to be re-educated.)" - source unknown
I like Yale crystalline and Sampson Warpspeed. I would select based on availability, cost, and color. Here's an article that compares halyard factors. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8pEh5lnvP1ySGpOTUdGRW9xdzQ Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Jan 11, 2018 6:30 AM, "T power via CnC-List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > > I'm thinking of replacing all of the sheets and halyards on Invictus, > hoping for some insight. > > > Dennis of Touche posted a note about color designation that I thought was > interesting but I forgot to copy it. > > > Looking for recommendations of size type and color of lines and halyards > for a cruising sailboat that may enter a fun club race once in a while. > > > Thanks for any help, > > > Cheers. > > > Tom Power <http://aka.ms/weboutlook> > Invictus > C&C 30 MK1 > Fredericton, NB > > _______________________________________________ > > Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
