Subject: Running Rigging lengths, info

Can anyone give me some running rigging measurements for their M31/32, M35, M36, TM36 and M40 ??? I need measurements for: Jib halyard, Main halyard, Mizzen halyard, Main Sheet, Mizzen Sheet and Jib Sheets.

Please post them here.

Thanks,
Bill

Shoot. Spent the last three days in the yard and on the mast. Now won't be back for a week or so, but can measure next I'm there.

Bill, here is part of what you requested. Sorry for the extreme delay...yard work never goes they way you think it will. Please note I did my best to be exact, but all below were measured in the rain w/a 16-foot tape. Obviously, the most critical of all these measurements is the wire rope in the three halyards. Here measurements go to the end of the thimble, but do not account for the wire wrap around it. Both Main and Mizzen are good; i.e., the wire stops a few inches above the mast-mounted winches (which are themselves about four feet off the deck). Unfortunately, the Jib wire wraps the winch, this because the fore stay (Jib luff) is longer than the main mast. This is of little consequence as the Jib is self-furling, and so is dropped only rarely. If I were to make these halyards from scratch today, I'd add a couple feet of wire rope to each halyard and fine tune once they were hung.
