Running Rigging

Post by James and Edeltraud Dunkl »

Does anyone know the proper diameter and length of the running rigging, specifically the jib sheets, mainsail sheet and the main and jib halyard. It has been four years since I bought my 26x and feel that it is time to replace all of the lines. My boat is in FL and I can not get down there due to work commitments any help is greatly appreciated.

If they are not in real bad shape, simply turn them end-for-end, so that any wear-points will now be in another location.
If you don't have your lines led aft to your cockpit, now might be a good time to do that.
You can probably use your present main halyard for a jib halyard, and get a longer main halyard.
