List of lines on Max 26X?

[dlandersson]

I've decided I should replace the lines on my 97 26X (except my genoa furling line, I replaced that in 2022)

I am open to suggestions. Lines, length, and thickness

Mainsail line
Rudder line
Topping lift line
MRS line (2)
????

Good post. I would ask what is the fuller line diameter? Mine is original.

I'm going to put this in the RESOURCES page.

It's good info.

The West Marine I used to shop closed during the lockdown.

Any suggestions as to a good place to buy lines via the internet?
