55' 3/8" line for each block with a beckot splice.
New England Ropes Dacron all white line.
Total of 110'
It will be delivered next week to the marina.
This site (riggingonly.com) was recommended by our boat neighbor. They have a Catalina 34’ and put on a lot of running rigging which they purchased there.
We saved good at riggingonly.com. The price was $1.10 per foot at Rigworks for the line + tax which in California is over 8 percent.
At Rigworks the splicing per beckot is $23.00 + tax.
We took the last line to Sailing Supply where we have had mixed results on the rigging shop and got the splicing done for $13.00 a splice + tax. They turned out good.
But because I screw up and cut the line in half we had to re-do this project.
We needed 110 feet of line this time.
For less than that price we got the line and two splices and shipped to our door for what it would have cost just for the the line at Rigworks and pay the tax period So we do not need to drive it over to Sailing Supply for the two splices also and then pick it up again when done and pay the extra money.
Let’s see how this plays out, could be the way to go.
