Hi Everybody,
Thanks for the advice. Per Brion's original suggestion we've gone ahead and ordered vectran cored line (NE Ropes V-100).
Brion - I've added thumb cleats to the mast head that are generously rounded over in all ways that matter. We'll make the eyes large enough to lay straighter on the mast and so we should be in good shape.
A few more coats of varnish on the spars and a couple of weeks of warmer weather to finish the hull and I'll be going sailing!
Thanks for all your help.
Garth
