anybody know exact length of stockCD28 mainsheet?

Post by mattlydon »

I was going to order some line today for a different use, and was considering ordering a new mainsheet while I was at it, then realized I'm unsure of the length.

I'd hate to waste 10' of line guessing. Stock setup with port & starboard deck-mounted pulleys leading to a double sheave on the boom.

TIA,

Matt

According to the owners manual your mainsheet should be 75' of 7/16"
prestreched dacron.

I believe the 75' x 7/16" spec. is from an owner's manual that postdates the conversion to a traveler and two fiddle blocks. It may or may not fit well with the older system Matt has.
