My 2014 TI black main sheet is showing signs of fraying.....apparently not a warranty issue. Who has purchased new main sheet line and can you share the mgr., model, details, etc.

Is your selection easier on the hands ?

thanx,
bill

You can always reverse the line to get a few more years out of it. IMO hobie uses really good line, once mine wears out I wiil likely replace with the same type.

West Marine has lots of different lines for sailboats. I had a frayed line when I got my AI and while waiting for the replacement from ACK I went to West Marine so I could keep sailing. I picked one the same diameter, but seems a little softer. I use the line from ACK as a spare/tow rope.

do you just undo the whole thing and feed it back the opposite direction? I thought it wouldn't make any difference given its one continuous long line? Mine is starting to fray so I might do this.
