[Rhodes22-list] Line sizes

[Larry Gioia]

 Hi,    I'm replacing a few of the lines on the '86 Rhodes I bought last year.  I found some lengths in the archives but not the widths of the lines. I'm not sure that the lines on it were the right size.  Any edits to the following guesses?       Lines to be replaced:  Inner-Mast Furling sheet - 1/4" x 20'  Jib furling sheet - 1/4" x 25'   Topping lift line 3/16" x 60'        Lines I have replaced, sizes I used: Afterstay tightening line:1/4"  x 15'        Mainsail outhaul line: 5/16" x 20'     Mainsheet: 3/8" x 35'   Rudder lift line: 1/4" x 10' (I think)      Lines I won't be replacing this year, but sizes they appear to be:  Jib sheet: 3/8" x 60'       Centerboard line: 5/16" x 15'    Thanks for any edits, or lists you can point me to!    Larry

 I replaced my IMF main last year and one thing Stan had mentioned to take particular care of was to attach the bottom of the luff in the existing hole in the furling tube to line up with the boom, and then stretch the luff to its fullest length at the top. I wanted to use the existing hole at the top of the furling tube as well so had to pull harder than I would have guessed.
