1. Thoughts on switching to spectra for trap wires? Weight aloft, windage, uv res

2. I have J & H handles. Anything you like better? http://sailsportmarine.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_24_26_30&products_id=125&zenid=c040a6e9ca37f00e5ca2e7a4bc8899c8

3. Adjustable height feature is nice, but it makes the handle lower than non-adjustable so it doesn't stay in hook. Ok for crew, but not good for skipper. Would be nice for rear to be adjustable so crew can get further back when kite is up in heavy breeze/ chop. Solutions, thoughts?

4. Has anyone tried these? http://www.murrays.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=21-5122R&Category_Code=N-C&Store_Code=MS

Thanks in advance for ideas/ thoughts/ comments.

I can't see the links but I have really grown to like the key hole style. I used to have te can't miss and didn't really care for them.

I really like the concept, but at $80 for a set of four versus $16 for the standard ones, I've other priorities for my sailing dollars.

Buddy of mine just got these for his Infusion. Installing them this weekend I think. I'll let you know what he thinks.
