Hi. Has anyone replaced their running rigging (and recorded the specs of the original rigging?)

With the quarantine, we can’t get to the boat to measure.

Can you tell me what size boat these dimensions are for? I am looking for specs to replace the running rigging on my 341.

Thanks,

Ken

A slight mistake, you have posted this in the 505 section of the forum, rather than the 341/342 section.

If you go into advanced search and put in "halyard length" ""any date" and select the 341/342 forum, you will find a number of answers.

I actually bought a full drum of dyneema for the halyards, as it was actually cheaper than buying the 2 separate lengths and I think the piece left over is just long enough to be a spare. Definitely fit dyneema on the halyards.

A couple of updates to running rigging for a 505.

Vang length is 47ft.

We have fitted a 3rd reef in our main , so we have a now have a single sided Main Sheet , this reduces our main sheet to 90 feet.
