Hobie 20 Mainsheet Replacement

Having served me well since 2010, it is time for a new mainsheet on Jasmine.
The manual calls out 38 Feet of "Yale Lite - Red" Line.
Not sure if that was followed on mine, and I think mine is closer to 7/16" double braid of some kind.
It is light blue flecked with two purple hashes in a repeating pattern.
I think that it is this: http://www.apsltd.com/yale-cordage-uls-yacht-braid-line.html

Update:
I had some 3/8 Red line from the Hobie 18 lying around which I eventually used.

I also found this "3mm Fork Terminal" from Harbor Freight which is very useful for wire rope.
