Hey,

So has anyone made the move to Dyneema or other synthetic materials for halyards?

What is the current thinking?

I have a mix. wire to stayset for the main and straight 5/16ths Spectra for the jib. I can't recall what I put on the spin last year but it has a bit more stretch to absorb the shocks. I know Focus has modern fibers with the covers stripped to the winches.
