Why not Spectra?
Just a little tongue in cheek... The recent discussion on the use of high modulus rope in standing rigging I'm sure would get lots of interest. I picked up a copy of Good Old Boat today and there is an article by Ted Brewer on standing rigging and he only discussed wire rope, discussed 7x7 galvanized, which is hard to find in sizes greater than 1/4". Give them a look at Precourt's synthetic rigging systems and that should start a healthy conversation.
