Thanks Fast!

I've run everything 3/8 except halyards... They are 10mm T-900
Main Sheet is 1/2 fuzzy comfy line.

Main sail halyard is Green Fleck (I thought everyone's was...) and it's on the Starboard side along with the first reef.

[place tongue in cheek]

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU IMMEDIATELY RE-RUN your MAIN HALYARD TO BE GREEN FLECK AND BE SURE IT IS ON THE STARBOARD SIDE. If someone is crewing with you who is accustomed to the regular set-up needs to reef the main while you are busy fighting the helm in a sudden surprise squall with strong seas, visibility at zero, during the night, when you're in a busy shipping channel, the last thing you want is a delay in getting that reef in. Additionally, I've noticed on another thread that you didn't add the glow in the dark labels saying "pull here to release" to the fore-end of your line clutches allowing said crew member to instantly release said halyard in said conditions...(I mean....considering they are backwards and all wouldn't that be prudent?)

...can I get a Bite me?

Primary Jib is red fleck on Port.

My control lines are just pretty. I wanted lots of colors. I didn't get yellow yet. Cunningham is black, Outhaul is Blue, Vang is Blue Fleck, You see my traveler lines there at red and green. (I know solid colors will fade. I don't care they look cool now!)

Yellow will be for Chute stuff.. Halyard or pole controls.

...and wait till you guys see my "Christmas Jacks"... I'm working out the bugs of my custom Lazy-Jacks now... I may even put lights on them. (Yes I'll run the switches aft so I don't have to go forward in a snow storm to turn off the lights...)

Thanks again guys!
