Showing some lack of knowledge a bit here, Tager.... nylon would be the worst line for running rigging - save it for your anchor rode.
There's all sorts of ways to get anything done - no one school of thought has to be the only 'right' one. Different strokes for different folks. But there's no need to alienate the voices of experience here on this board.
A couple of years back was a fellow who decided he could build his own 50' trimaran and circle the globe for $25K.... didn't make it 200 miles before the boat started breaking up.
A friend left on his boat for Mexico last year, and during the year or two of preparations he received all kinds of advice - to all of which he nodded, smiled and thanked the 'advisor'..... then turned away, followed what he agreed with and ignored the rest. No ruffled feathers, much of the advice was valid, all of it was well intended. He had a successful trip and has returned to carry on.
