[C320-list] Snapped roller furling line

[Kenny Geist]

I was out sailing today on the Long Island Sound in 25 kt winds when all of
a sudden, the jib roller furling line snapped.  I just bought the boat so I
have no idea how long it was on their but it broke a the roller furler and
it looks like it was worn in that spot.

Fortunately, I had a good crew onboard and we were able to drop the genoa
pretty easily and as it is time to put Windrifter to bed for the winter I
will replace the line on the hard.

Does anyone know what type of line and how long it should be.

Thanks
