Daniel, you are right the 5/8 jid sheets are overkill. But easy to get a 
good hand on. When I replace my 5/8 sheets I am thinking that I will probably 
go with the 9/16. A little thinner but still easy on the hands. Although with 
the fancy lines out there you can find 1/2 in line that is stronger that the 
5/8. IMHO it will depend on if you race or worry about spilling your beer on a 
tack.

I've got 5/8 sheets on a 145% jib on my Landfall 38. It's overkill. Killing a 
flea with a shotgun, almost. Question - will 9/16 do, or do I need 1/2? And how 
long?

I recently dropped from 7/16 StaSet to 3/8 VPC on my 35-1.

Dan,
I went with 1/2” Samson Trophy Braid for my boat. Used 41’ per side but you 
might want a foot or two more for a 145%. I really like the “hand” of the 
trophy braid.

The Genoa sheets for the 155 on my 38 mk2 are 7/16ths. Half inch may still be overkill, slightly, For the smaller headsail on a LF38.Rick BrassSent from my Verizon 4G LTE SmartphoneOn Apr 25, 2016 12:18 PM, Daniel Sheer via CnC-List  wrote:I've got 5/8 sheets on a 145% jib on my Landfall 38.

Re: Stus-List Jib sheet size

[Chuck Gilchrest via CnC-List]

Dan,

Most of our owner’s manuals were written before the age of high modulus cored 
performance double braid ropes and would specify big rope to handle the heavy 
load of an overlapping headsail.  My LF 35 calls for 5/8” jib sheets as well.  
While in most peoples’ eyes a bigger jib sheet can be easier on the hands, the 
tensile strength of a good performing polyester double braid or blended core 
rope of ½” will be more than adequate.  9/16” or 14mm rope isn’t as common and 
many marine dealers and chandleries only stock a few options in that size.  One 
thing to consider is how the rope fits in the jaws of the self tailer on the 
boat.  50’ to 55’ per line will be fine for your length boat, even with the 
larger jib.

 

For folks hoping for some decent deals or marine cordage, R Rope in 
Massachusetts www.rwrope.com <http://www.rwrope.com>  is having their annual 
RopeFest event this Saturday and will have 20%+  off everything.  They are also 
extending the same discount online Friday-Monday.  If you live in the area R 
has a  killer surplus and closeout section too.  At RopeFest, they do splicing 
clinics, specialty knot tying, rope climbing walls, high angle rescue 
techniques plus lots of giveaways and complimentary food.  YES, they do ship to 
Canada and can do so via US Mail if you prefer.

 

Full disclosure, I spent two years as their marine sales mgr and they’re a very 
good client of mine.  But being cheap AND a boater, I like to make people aware 
of good deals when I see them.

And while I’m in the mood to share good news, my 1975 25mk 1, went down the 
road on a trailer to the new owner’s home, leaving me as a single C owner 
once more!

Cheers,

Chuck Gilchrest

I use 1/2-inch on my 135% self-furling genny on my LF38--no problem!  Don't 
know the length offhand but the owner's manual has the required lengths.

[Frederick G Street via CnC-List]

Here’s what I got last time I ordered from Cajun Rope:

> Jib sheets:  (2) x 45 feet of 9/16" XLE, white w/red flecks, whipped  ends = 
> $87.20

I think the diameter helps on the hands, and winches well.
