[C320-list] Jib and Mainsheet Lengths

[Denny Browne]

Newer boats have a double ended main sheet. You can sheet it from either
side of the companionway. That probably accounts for the extra 25' of line.

Thanks John, I was not aware that the manual was
online. Good to know.

Interestingly, I checked our manual today and it lists
mainsheet length as 75' vs 100' in the online manual
and what Allan wrote. I guess this was adjusted for
the newer boats. I don't know if we still have the
original sheet on our boat or if the previous owner
replaced it. But I have never felt the need for more
cordage on the mainsheet than what we have...25 feet
difference seems quite a lot..is there anything
different on the newer boats? 

Thanks, Koen
