Greg,
Dan's Tiger is completely delux and I would suggest getting the halyard he recommended. If ever I get close enough to see them on the race coarse, their transitions (spinnaker sets and take downs) are always smooth and fast.
I see that you're in San Diego. If you're interested there's a race this weekend April 1st & 2nd in Fiddlers Cove, South San Diego Bay. It looks like there's going to be a good turnout of Tigers too - here's a link to the race info and list of participants on the Division2 forum.

Hope to see you there...
