NE Sta-Set

I like New England Sta-Set for sheets. I use 7/16" on my H37C, probably 3/8" on your H30. But there are many places on the Web where you will find recommended sheet diameter for your size of boat and sails. My mainsheet is a nice red. The jib sheets are flecked, red for port and green for starboard. Rigging-Only has some of the best prices, see Related Link.

Regatta Braid was suggested

when I called Sailnet to order for my line replacement upgrade. I ordered the 7/16 inch line which is a 12 strand. I used it at the end of last year and having been using it this year, it feels great in my hands when working with it on the Genoa sheets. I am not real experienced with choosing line, so I tried their suggestion for the sheet, everything else I used sta-set.Jim McGlynnthe Laura Lee
