Looks cool! What kind of rope did you use? Are you happy with the performance so far? It looks like your shrouds are of a smaller diameter, but I can't tell.

Tom,

It's regular Amsteel, 1/4" for the shrouds, and 5/16" for the bridles/forestay. So far I've tightened the rigging twice, and it appears the constructional stretch is about set: it hasn't gotten loose since the last tightening. It is much nicer to grab than the older stainless rigging!
