10mm is the way forward! It doesnt slice your fingers like
the 8mm cheesewire The main on the 600 is 12mm at the
moment! Its a beast!
The main on your 200 looks like the Maff Evolution race,
but i thought they only stocked it up to 6mm. Im probably
gonna have to give them a call and see what theyve got and
at what price. Ive found 10mm swiftcord at another online
shop but its £5.50 a metre!!!

10mm!!  Is that not a bit thick??  Ther boat in the pictures is a 200 Salty, the rope is what LDC supply now i forget its name, but it was 8mm on main and jib sheets 5mm for kite. I think its about £3 per metre so not to bad.

 

Hpe it helps

Yeah George i know it was good but it just doesnt run at
all now.
Im gonna look out for some cheap 10mm at the boat show. I
still want thick rope, but just thin enough so it runs
freely.

stiff and doesnt run through the blocks anymore, so it has
to go.


NO that mainsheet was a god-send, when it was new it was the nicest mainsheet ever and was 50p a meter from the boat show

Ive had a lack of pimping recently. I want to do something
new but i cant think of anything.

You wouldnt happen to know where i can get 10mm swiftcord
in blue would you? And preferably not at £7 a metre or
whatever ridiculous price it is.

It will be all one unit when i have finished, its a bit of a pain to fit a Tacktick to the 300, so i had a bracket made out of carbon, i thought i wold attach a drinks bottle holder behind it as well as it looks a bit neater then taping one to the mast!  Should hopefully finish it off this week.  More photos to follow!  Can't really think of any more pimping ideas now!

Ive seen that carbon bottle holder on ebay. Im so tempted
to get one. And at £14 they are a major steal.
