I am wanting to replace the 2 halyards on my 1978 C27 standard rig. Can someone 
tell me what is the proper length and diameter of rope. I also plan to run the 
main into the cockpit so if anyone else has done that how much length did you 
add? 

Also I am replacing all the running rigging and am wondering what size rope 
people are running for the following:

Main sheet
Traveler lines
Backstay
Outhaul
Reefing lines
toping lift
Fulring drum inhaul.

I am hoping to be able to cover all of it with a spool of 1/4" will that work 
on everything but the main sheet and halards?  Or would 3/16 do the job for the 
light stuff? Thinking 3/8 for the halyards and 7/16 for the main sheet.

Thanks,
