David Shinn:

	Did you mean lengths of lines and sheets?  

	You did not specify if you had Standard or IMF?

	Consider getting the correct lengths and sizes without hassle without
dealing with the inflated priced supplier.  The gross margin at West Marine
is to pay for the executives seven figure salaries, not for the quality of
the product.  Consider ordering from a not for profit outfit like General
Boats.  You would get the correct lengths and sizes and good stuff.  See:
http://www.rhodes22.com/  There either phone in the afternoon or use snail
mail addressed to Rose.

	As for a second opinion, look at:  http://www.geocities.com/blew_skies/

	My Genoa sheet is 62 feet long and 3/8 inches thick.  From memory my
furling line is ¼ inch by 35 feet.  For better measurements search the
archives or wait for other replies.

	The line(s) on the traveler depend on which system you have and which
method you use.  Stan ships the boats with two lines, however, Wally Buck
devised a single line rigging.

	Racing did you say?  You should talk to Peter Thorn.  Consider joining his
October Reggata...
