Rob, I would recommend a 1/4 inch "halyard" size line which is NOT
dead-ended at the mast head. If you have the GB furler for the genny, then
you have a available sheave to use for the topping lift. I use this sheave
and have the line fed back to the cockpit. There are many times I have
adjusted it to increase head room while not sailing. Bob
