    I’m looking to get new jib/genoa sheets for cruising only. Cabin top winches, turning blocks & stoppers on side decks. What size, length (especially), and type line would people reccomend? I’m 300 miles from my boat now and can’t get to it for a measurement.

    Get fuzzy poly sheets. They are the bomb. Easy to handle. I use novabraid XLE-Z Feel, but I forget if it is 3/8 or 7/16. My length is about 45 a side, but they are a bit long.

    You aroused my curiosity. I measured mine at 50′. I have moved the turning blocks back to the toe rail, which requires some extra length. My winches are cabin top. Even so, I’d say mine are likely longer than they need to be.
