[Rhodes22-list] Halyards

[Ron Singerman]

Cowie,

All I remember is that WM had it on sale.  Since I am not interested if it 
stretches some,  I would not spend a lot of money on this.  Most important 
is UV protection.  Some of the lines you can buy in the hardware store, 
although cheap, do not stand up in the sun.
