Is there a recommended site for cord other than the FS store? 22 bucks for a forty foot sheet seems a little expensive.
Thanks

Send me an email, I am sure I have some used that I can send you for free... but honestly, $22 is not expensive when it come to boat cordage.  theshaytoon [@] outlook.com
I think I pay around $2 a foot for the spin sheets on my boat.  I know that is nuts...don't worry, the wife and the dogs give me dirty looks.

What diameter should I be looking at for chute sheets? I'm looking on sailcare.com.

I have two sets, a set for light air, they are 3/16.
And the set I use for normal to heavy air is 1/4.
