Re: List of lines on Max 26X?
The West Marine I used to shop closed during the lockdown.
Any suggestions as to a good place to buy lines via the internet?

List of lines on Max 26X?
I've decided I should replace the lines on my 97 26X (except my genoa furling line, I replaced that in 2022)
I am open to suggestions. Lines, length, and thickness
Mainsail line
Rudder line
Topping lift line
MRS line (2)
????
