[C320-list] Jib roller furling line length

[bruceheyman]

I read an article a long time ago where they recommend you go up a size to improve the handling like Chris mentions.   Then to make it all fit on the drum you remove the first xx feet of core in the double braid.I need to replace mine as well so maybe I'll experiment to figure out what xx feet should be.  I would think you could easily remove 20 feet an have it fit.Best,Bruce

Agree with Denny, 5/16”. Tried 3/8” for easy handling and found that  getting all of the line needed on the furler drum was a pain, went back to 5/16”.  You will need a minimum of 65’

5/16" Dacron double braid like New England Ropes Sta-set.
