Hi again,
That's 5/8" Regatta Braid, which feels nice and fat, stows (not coils) nicely in my line bag, and fit's well in those Harken blocks.
Note that, with two ratcheting blocks, plus the extra advantage, pulling yourself will be much easier, so you won't have to grip as hard, so 1/2" Regatta should be just fine. Oh, and you will probably have to turn off the ratchet on the lower block to descend -- that's how effective they are.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
