Hi Steve, I think I use ¼” OD StaSet X dacron double braid for both applications. Now is a good time to color code these lines if you don’t minding paying a few cents more per foot.

It's time to replace my roller furling line and topping lift. Does anybody know what type of lines these are? These two are different types. The topping lift is the same stuff as the rudder up and downhaul and same as the centerboard uphaul. It's stiffer and presumably more abrasion-resistant. The furling line might best be double braid polypropylene or nylon (?) (although that's not what's on there now — don't know what it is) and may require some of its length to be de-cored so it all fits on the roller. Any suggestions?
