Looks like 1x19. Not very flexible.
Steering cable should be 7x19.
Do any t boats run synthetic like Amsteel, dyneema or spectra? Far stronger, lighter, tie knots in it and it floats.

kijiji.ca, online stores.
TeleFlex, SeaStar.
Local marina, performance minded marinas if thats your aim. Could go to TopGun. There are others, Ronnies in Havelock for instance.

I haven't tried the synthetic cable. I use the nylon coated clear clothes line type.

I have ordered hardware from these guys too.

Also, Rick Fralick usually has an abundance of hardware at the TORC races.

See what Top Gun has in stock, he has provided us with the majority of our rigging on the past two boats.

Lee at Machined Componets http://machinedcomponents.net/pages/gal ... leys60.php has some really nice stuff as well, I've picked up a couple of things from him lately and he's really good to deal with.

I get my pullies that I run at the wing plates and under the deck (for the delta) as well as the string steering online from The Chandlery in Ottawa.
