Tim,

What is your mainsheet's purchase? 3:1 or 4:1?

Also, if you are happy with the length of you current mainsheet, then simply measure it to determine the length of the new line.

I will measure it today. It's just a small drive and I wanted to get the line prior to getting down there. But I will measure it.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,

The boat came stock from the factory with teh mainsheet 3/8" braid on braid line 75' long. This is certainly more length than you need for sail trim. But works well if you are using your mainsheet block 'n tackle to help raise and lower the mast.
