Two questions re running rigging:
Has anybody used SB Owners (https://shop.sailboatowners.com/detail-rigging.php?) to provide guidance on lengths and sizes for your boat. Was the experience satisfactory? I need to make an on the water replacement (Yes, I know. Should of done it last fall)
Has anybody determined if the line diameters should be different than those in the Owners manual. My boat is a 25D.

Re: Vendor for running rigging
Hi Dick,
Have not used SB Owners. Recently replaced halyards and main sheet with 3/8". It has been adequate, no complaints. It seemed smaller than the previous main sheet and runs more cleanly through the blocks. It seems like the lengths used were a little less, maybe six to ten feet, then the manual provides. The length was adjusted once they were on the boat.
