I’m replacing my spinn halyard and am interested in line specifications. And any thoughts on tapered lines. Thanks, Jeff

Jeff,

1/4 inch Roblin is the ticket.   Check out the common maintenance thread for other alternatives.

Just have one made by Shapesofspeed.com
Have red or green of the 1/4" Robline that Travis mentioned.
Tapered is the least amount of windage when sailing upwind.
