Running Rigging

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.
thanks
