Genoa sheets length and size

Post by belladonna »

To save a needless trip to the boat, does anyone know the length and diameter of the sheets for the factory optional 150% genoa? Thanx. Jim

I just replaced mine. Used 7/16 @ 100' in a single line config using a cow-hitch on the sail. Been racing that way for several weeks with no issues, though I did consider ½" for slightly easier line grip. The first day I had the new line on the boat it was a bit slippery and needed an extra wrap on the winch, but after a couple days use, that went away and the new line works great on my 150.
