Looks like Yale Lite in the Murray's catalog. I use Yale Lite for both the mainsheet and jib sheet (3/8 in. and 5/16 in., I think) and it's great: does not tangle or soak up water. Once the cover on the sheets wear out, I use them for righting lines (Specra/Dyneema core is still good).

Rick sells a similar product, Sampson Ultra-Lite, in the Cat Sailor on-line store. 3/8 in. Sampson Ultra-Lite

Does anyone use sheets of Dyneema/Polypro braid such as Yale Conception or 100 percent Polypro braid such as Marlow Marstron? Any good?

The best possible sheeting line I have ever seen just came on the market last year from New England. Is is called Salsa and comes in 1/4

5/16

and 3/8" and in two colors, red and green.

This is the best sheet I have ever used.., it does not absorb water, easy on the hands, goes through blocks very well, does not stretch, does not kink or knot while laying on the deck.
It does not have a core, yet doesn't stretch. Check it out.

And the price is very reasonable.
Hard to beat this stuff.
