[C320-list] Internal boom rigging

[Gene Helfman]

which brings up another, more general question.  Is there a source that
gives recommended line diameters for C320 running rigging?  we are looking
to replace most of ours and finding that the worn lines are thicker than
newer counterparts.

Thanks,
