Am I the only one out there that likes mono harness lines? seems that all the manufactures stopped making them . Everyone I know either doesn't like them or don't use them . I like them on my small boom with small sails.. I liked the twitchy-ness of the mono lines. bummer

I've wanted to try but haven't yet.

Tuna/Chinook/Lisa still make them.







I always figured you could just shunt the two ends together and get the same result?

I don't remember exactly why I didn't like them.... I believe they could be hard to adjust sailing along or maybe some other reason? Maybe too stiff.

Have been using mono lines for a bit over a decade for fin. For foil prefer adjustable lines. Went with trad. adjustable lines. Wasn't even aware of the adjustable mono. Have yet to break a mono line. But only couple occasions over the decades of breaking trad. lines. Just my feeling. Easier to adjust position of the mono line while on the board. Tight enough to stay in position. But if unhooked can slide fore or aft a couple centimeters without much effort to fine tune. With trad. lines I set the attachment points relatively close at one fist distance apart. Not a good enough windsurfer to notice any real difference between the trad and mono.

gunsails still makes them really cheap!

Do you get much the same effect by using normal lines that are placed together on the boom? Some people, traditionally, have their lines spread wide on the boom, perhaps shorter in length. Others put them close together with a preference for longer lengths. Is there any noticeable advantage with mono lines?

I've really only seen freestylers use these and always assumed it's specific for that use case.

I like my lines close together but that close doesn't give a lot of leverage over the boom so can't imagine it's great for blasting.
