In Response To: Seeking: Spool of Deckline (Jack Gilman)

Hi Jack,

My brother found a source for 3/16" kevlar core polyester braid on a djembe drum building website.

About $150 for 1000 ft, or 0.15/ft. Solid black, or black with red, yellow and green rasta tracers!

I like 1/4", since it's easier to grab, but I don't know of any suppliers for solid black.

Shawn

: We have a few boats nearing completion, and want to put full deck lines on
: for safety.

: Does anyone know a distributor of 3/16 or 1/4" black braided deckline?
: We want to buy a whole spool.

: Does anyone have a preference for 3/16 over 1/4"?

: Thanks!

: Jack Gilman
