[Public-List] Running rigging, I thought I had seen...

[Christine + Maurice via Public-List]

That's it thank you George!  Between these and Gordon's rigging schedule, I have all the info to upkeep running rigging!  

Thank you all,

Cheers

Include information about how you rig it, if appropriate.  Please include your boat number, as sometimes there are differences between new and old boats.  As always, use your own judgement rather than trusting information posted here.

That's 70 ft for up and down the mast, and an extra 15 for leading aft and for enough to splice both ends (which I'll need to do when I end-for-end it). The rope is Yale Vizzion, which is a blended vectran/polypropylene core and polyester cover. It has a nice hand and splices easily. Breaking strength of 4300lbf and 4.1lbf weight per 100ft. -- J Bergquist

You could probably get by with 3/8", but the larger line is easier to grip.  The eye is sewn, not spliced. -- GeorgeDinwiddie, #543
