[Rhodes22-list] Jib Sheet sizes and type

[Wally Buck]

PT,

I have those guys bookmarked. I didn't see prices on the web site but I 
didn't look very long. I bought a bunch of running rigging last year and 
priced Layline against Sailnet. Sailnet beat them by quite a bit. From what 
I remember the line itself was just a little less exspensive but Sailnet did 
not charge shipping or sales tax. Not sure if they still do this.

If I do wind up calling Layline for advice i will make my purchase from 
them. I don't mind paying for service and I have heard the staff knows 
sailing. If I order via web with no human contact I go for the best price.

Fair Winds-

Wally
