Well just came back from a little sailing with my North wind 28, first time in about 2 years. I had forgotten how relaxing it is. I was out for about 3 hours. The wind was a little flukey but it was still fine. There were a few guys flying control line aircarft in the feild behind me They got maybe half a dozen flights in the time that I was there. It was nice to just be there knowing that they had to cool down and refuel every 6 minutes and I just kept tacking back and forth.

So what type of lines are better to use I just have what came in the kit but I think that the lines are stretching a little to much. Any in put would be greatly appreciated.

One word...spectra 90lb...ok two words, one word , one number???, anyhow get something around 80-90lb spectra line from your fishing tackle shop...zero stretch, very small diameter and you can get quite a variety of colours if you are into the colour coding of sheets thing!.

Hey Gary thanks, the thought did cross my mind about using fishing line but then it left. I shall gocheck that out. And maybe even have a little left over and I can do trolling LOL. So I guess I will also look into new sails as well but I don't want to spen alot of money on them Do you know about making sails?

The evil empire (wally world) has Ugly Braid braided fishing line. Some stores have it on clearance for $5.00 for a 125 yard spool. 20lb test is about the same thickness as 4-6 lb monofilament. It's very slippery, and has very little stretch. Loop it through the bowsies one extra time if youre afraid of it slipping. You can prestretch it by cutting a piece longer than you need and suspending it with a weight on the bottom (small 3-5 lb dumbells work great)
