John, Strength wise, you could even get by using 3/8”, but it may not grip in self tailing winches and would seem small and hard to grip. 7/16” is what I use on my 35 Landfall. I avoid ropes with high modulus cores like Dyneema, Spectra, and Vectran as they tend to make the rope stiffer and will hold a “set” when wrapped around a winch. FYI, R&W in New Bedford,MA is holding their Ropefest sale on April 27. 20% and more off everything. They stock New England, Novabraid, Marlow and Samson plus a full service rigging shop. They also have great deals on surplus ropes and spool ends. Chuck Gilchrest
