Done some analysis recently on prices etc and wanted to share with various groups
I was looking for about 700 ft of 5/16, 3/8 and 7/16 double braid for halyards and control lines on our Elite 32 and after a few practice splices had determined I can do the double braid eye splices myself (about 40 minutes per splice sat in the kitchen at home), so I determined to buy in bulk.
Tried the usual places - West Marine, Boat US, Sailnet, Defender etc -> Defender at this point looking to be best priced.
Then went online to ebay and also asked opinion of some other folks at another online sailing community that I frequent - here are three other providers to check out
http://www.binnacle.com
http://www.cajuntrading.ca
http://www.theropedope.com
also there's a guy called Vernon Boog on ebay with competitivelly priced line.
No affiliations or recommendations, all information provided at your risk. Caveat Emptor.
Myself - I just ordered 515ft of double braid from Binnacle - still waiting for their feedack to see if they could provide 150ft of the soft-spun "EZ-feel" line I want for my sheets.
