Again you are welcome Steve,
The cord used now is probably different as new synthetic cord keeps coming out. Again if you go to PJSails site they have cord there. Also if you email them Peter or Jan are very helpful. My cord is an old reel of some stuff with a green stripe running through, but I believe that has long been superseded. All of them are used in fishing, but the important thing is it does not stretch or kink Dyneema is the new stuff I believe
After a life at sea, I think I know where you are coming from
Mike
