Depends, I like the rooster 5.5mm or the marlow super prestretch 6mm (I don't think anyone else considers this a laser mainsheet lol) I feel like the smaller diameter runs better downwind. I have been using a 7mm a bit to try it out but I haven't decided if its better in breeze or not.
I use the system from southeast sailboats as well, the top of boom one I believe. I used to have the blocks at the mast but switched over to this one and noticed a huge difference in getting the outhaul on/off. With a inhale bungee and a block on the sail it runs like butter

My lower section is stuck in my mast step, it will wiggle around but won’t rotate. The only thing I can think of is the mast wear strip somehow cane off and folded over itself. How can I get it out?

Pour water in it to see how far down it drains to if it’s all the way then it’s worn through the bottom, then flush the boat with fresh water and get the boat totally dry (probably will take a good week, then with glass mat make 3 circles progressively larger with then smallest the size of the...
Wondering what everyone’s opinions are on the composite lower? It looks like most of the fleet was using them at Kiel but then I didn’t see any at Euro Champs a few weeks later?
