Hi everyone. I have a TR boat, and am in need of a new mainsheet. Does anyone have a recommended measurement for the length of said sheet? I'm trying to avoid having to drive down to the boat, drive up to the marine store, and then back down to the boat again to replace it. Thanks in advance.

Ah, many thanks, Joe. I forgot about the search feature. 75 feet seems long for a 3:1 like mine, but I will certainly take the advice of the factory on this one.

The big question is what do you want? I recomend 3:1 for speed and smaller line size for weight. The weight of the original line will pull your boom in on very light air days.
