Hi all.
Anybody ever used these folks for their running rigging?

The price seems pretty good for what you get if the lines are good quality.

I have ordered from them. The line is of very good quality. You may want to consider putting together your own "kit". I prefer 1/4 inch for the halwayrds. I also prefer very light sheets for the Spinnaker. Just give them a call and they will price it out for you. They are very nice people to work with.

Tom.

I've been looking for some new running rigging, too, and found two websites that are recommended by members of this forum - cajuntrading.ca and layline.com. I haven't ordered from either one yet, but it looks like the cost of cordage from layline is slightly higher than from Cajun, but Cajun's shipping costs are considerably more than Layline's shipping costs. Check both sites, including the shipping costs, to make sure you're getting the best overall deal, especially if your order is about $100. or less.

It is my understanding that Cajun makes a lot of their own line, in a conversation with them I was led to believe they buy old machines from the majors and make their own versions of what the machine was designed to make. (At least I think it was them that I bought the 250' of generic 1/4" line from.) It bugs me a little that they have Cajun as a name, a CA url and make their rope in Nova Scotia. I am a huge fan of LayLine.com

I've gotten 4 orders through Layline. Not a single problem. Never done business with the Nova Scotia firm.
