Rope Length

Does anyone have measurements on the rope lengths for the running rig (Hanse 311, 312 or 315)?

I am about to renew the ropes/halyard for headsail and mainsail with spectra ropes.

grettings

Owing to a breakdown in communication with my rigger I have accidentally had my main halliard replaced even though it was only 8 Months old

Thanks for the many replies.

1. Does anyone of you knows how long the rope is, which is used to control the self tacking jib?

Currently I only have polyester rope as mainsail halyard which is 12mm with a breaking strength of approx. 3300 kg.
It is hard to hoist the mainsail because there is hardly room for 12mm through all the turns and Deck Organizers.

I therefore plan to switch to 10 mm rope with a core of dynemaa which has a tensile strength of 3400 kg.

Though I'm in Denmark, the prices are better in Germany and I want to buy online.

The best price so far is at Hamburger Tauwerk Factory.
Available:http://htf-hh.com/eshop/de/Tauwerk-jeglicher-Art/Fallen-und-Schoten/Liros-Dynamic-Plus-/-5-14mm-
to 3.72 Euro exclusive of freight.

2.
Does anyone know of a better place to buy the ropes?

Now I've measured the diameter of the ropes and they prove to be 10 mm and not 12 mm as I thought.
On Hanse 311 you have to steer the self-tacking jib with the same rope as the spinnaker boom lift.
The boat was not rigged for using Spinnaker or jib when I bought it.
The boat had a 130% or 140% genoa but because of the children we would now enjoy sailing with a jib.
But I still do not know the length of the rope to control the jib. The rope should initially be with 2:1 exchange between jib and block on the rail.
On a Hanse 320 the jib sheet is around. 25 meters.

Is there anyone who knows the length of the Jib sheet?

Ole Østergaard isn't 8 mm too thin or is it ok?
I've emailed the Netbaad.com shop about the brand and breaking strength of their product.

Here is a point forum member may wish to think about

Hi Sam

 I have done some research today because I couldn't understand the major price difference in the Dyneema I quoted. I am well aware of lots & lots of different dynemma products on the market & Liros themselves make many different versions.

 

The main difference I could find is that the breaking strains as follows therefore different amounts of dyneema in the product,

 Liros breaking strain 3400kg

 Maffioli strain 4650kg

 This will also be relative to any stretch etc

 It's not sour grapes for not getting the order, but generally with such a major difference there are reasons & I thought you may wish to know as I did.
