[HCARC] Rope

[Gary and Arlene Johnson]

I have a 500 foot roll of 1/8 inch Spectra Line coming.  It has about a 750 
lb breaking strength and is the same fiber that the Spectra braid fishing 
lines are made from.  Plan to use it to guy a Gap Voyager and the Hustler 
5BTV.  Unfortunately it is too light (especially in light of last weeks 
wind) to guy a tower.  Spectra braid has virtually no stretch.  More is 
available on Ebay for $59.95 for a 500 foot spool with free shipping.

How much do you need Harvey???
