I've been thinking about replacing my roller furling line (on an E323). Current line is 1/4" Sta-Set. The small size is a little tough on the hands when furling the jib in strong winds so I was thinking of going up a size to 5/16. I imagine 3/8 would be too large for the drum.
One of the Harken manuals says to use 7mm single-braid polyester, though the same guide says to use 7mm-double braid elsewhere in the manual. Seven millimetres would be in between the 1/4 and 5/16 diameters.
Was wondering what size/type line others recommend. Is it better to have a line that keeps its (round) shape, or one that flattens out a bit for coiling on the drum?
