Halyard Diameter

Post by MAC-A-TAC »

Hello,

You would think that I would have written this info down by now, but I can't remember if the mainsail halyard on the 26M is 5/16" or 3/8".
Could someone help me out here, please?
One more question, were all the 26M stock working lines, save the genoa halyard, the same diameter?

Thanks for any help.

Kurz,

Thank you, was that the size of all your working lines?

Mine certainly looked like they all came from the same spool except the furling line which was 4 or 5mm :)

I know we are talking stock, so mainsheet at 45" is not led back to cockpit? Having trouble seeing how the outhaul is 9', is that so you can also reef the main like how my X was originally set up? :macx:
