Spinnaker Halyards

   More sold on the dyneema option now following your feedback.  Was favouring a polyester option beforehand:  either EB Sprintline or 8 plait PS (and I know one top MR sailor who happily uses 8 plait).
Hadn't really considered the Evo race as an option.  Still quite liking the Robline Dinghy Control Line option.  Bit softer on the hands and possibly a bit gripper than the Evo Race.

P&B are pushing Kingfisher 3.5mm Super Dyneema.  Anybody any experience of this?

	The Super Dyneema is essentially an Evolution Race, just in a slightly smaller size from the 4mm.

	The 4mm Evo Race I bought was undersize anyway.

	I supply EB 8 plait as standard, the coloured stuff seems to last better and shrink less i dont know why but it does! Sprintline is a bit twisty for my liking but runs well. D Racer (Excel racing equivalent) is very good but overkill really - it can be tapered though which is a bonus. New product on the block is EB Xtreme. 3.5mm polyester/technora - its absolutely bombproof and should last 2-3 seasons on most dinghies.
