If that helps mine call for 30' per side of 1/2 braided I use "plane Jane" New England ropes sta-set
In terms of load, my boat's smaller but the sailplan is comparable with a 487 square feet 135% genoa and 541 square feet 150 genoa.. (669 Square total @ 100% fore triangle) Anyway, 1/2" braided is plenty strong. Even if i could go with a smaller diameter / higher tech line I would not as the 1/2" braid is ideal to give good bite to the self tailers.. Also, I would not go any shorter than 30' per side. There's really not that much left when we go wing on wing with the whisker pole using the 150 genoa. My 2 cents. -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, GA
