[C38] Replacing jib halyard -

[David Epstein]

Hi Pierre,

My family just sold our Catalina 38 to a family only interested in 
day sailing and cruising, so I have a bunch of racing equipment left 
over to sell.   Included are a number of hi-tech halyards.   They are 
mostly Samson Warpspeed 3/8" (the best as far as I am concerned) and 
possibly some are Samson XLS Extra 3/8" (my second favorite).

These are all over 110" as our halyard winches were on the 
deck.   Several were replaced due to chaffing from our original 
clutches, but this will have occurred far past the length you will 
need for mast mounted winches.   They were not on the boat more than 
a year or two, and are otherwise in excellent condition.

I got great prices when I purchased the line, and paid over $250 each 
for the Warpspeed halyard (including eye-splices), but I am willing 
to sell them for $125 each (+shipping).   If you are interested in 
the XLS Extra versions, I will verify that I have some and let you 
know what the price would be.

Let me know if you are interested.


Regards,


David Epstein
