I'm looking to purchase 1/2" halyards and sheets for our 42' boat. Anyone have a "really good" place to purchase them?
Wanting different colors for the halyards, most likely white for the mainsheet and different colors for staysl' and jib sheets.
Basically don't want to break the bank with low stretch, want something that wears well and is easy on the hand. Hell, we're cruisers but do appreciate well set sails.
Thanks,

Hi again Dave,
I just checked out their website again myself and realized that what they call their standard double braid line is what we would call "dock line" or "mooring line". The stuff I got for my running rigging was their "XLE" line. Pretty much the same as NE Ropes "Sta Set" line. XLE jib sheets in the 9/16" size are currently $1.01 a foot and 5/8" line is only $1.21 a foot.

Another vote for Cajun Trading.
I also got my halyards from Cajun and they offer great service and I have yet to find similar prices.
