Hi Gary,

Amsteel blue (or any color) is not the same as Dynex Dux. Amsteel is given to 'Molecular creep' which just means it will get longer as time goes by if it is under tension, as it will be in shrouds and stays. So you would be forever tuning your rig, and occasionally re-splicing the Amsteel. Not practical.
But there is no shortage of threads in this forum (look in the archives), discussing various HM lines suitable for rigging.
Incidentally, I'm building a CG 31, very similar to a BCC, and will be rigging it with Vectran.
Good luck,
Ben
