Interesting that you brought this up. I am in the process of replacing my halyards after 3 years of racing. I am going with the V-100 for both the main and jib halyard and Endura Braid Euro for the two spins. All in 8mm or 5/16. I had V-100 for the main for the last 3 years and it has held up pretty well to constant abuse. The end is getting some fuzzing. I always sky the halyards after every use to protect the core. I have them stripped for about 20ft to reduce weight aloft. For my new halyards I am adding dyneema chafe guard to all the ends for additional protection from the sheeves.
We’ll be coming from Dana Point, CA. Hope to see everyone out there.
Team White Lightning will be there. Hopefully bringing up another team as well.

#133Sorry Scot, I don’t know what I was thinking with 6mm…Brain fart. I believe mine is 8 or 11.
I currently use 6mm Endura Braid for my sheets. Low stretch and stays kink free. Can be a little slippery on the wenches, but ofter a break-in they work fine.
