Ken

I just replaced most of my running rigging based off an Archive post from 29 January 2003, from Lloyd Crother. I can not paste a link directly to the post for some reason, but you can go to the Archives and list the posts out by date.

The jib sheet is 60ft of 3/8". That is using a continuous line, ½ for each side of 30 ft.
I am actually planning to buy another jib sheet. I thought I'd be fancy and get two separate lines; red and green but the problem there is the size of the knot(s).
