Agree that is the main sheet tackle I'be seen on just about every Frers 33, and we use as well.
I've mostly use Layline for rigging, they always seemed to have the correct measurements for the boat and made good recommendations. They were sold at one point and suffered for it but I believe were repurchased by the original owner. They lost some of my loyalty during that period. I will try to pull old orders to provide specifics. I also agree on Vectran for main and jib, spectra for kites. I use stripped halyards as they run more freely through my masthead sheaves.

Yes, thanks for this topic! It is going to be really helpful. Perhaps we =3D=

On the subject of Main sheet fine tune, what is the best approach. I =3D<br>=
