I used 1/4" on my CDI furler. BTW - I ordered all of my line from a place in Canada called "Cajun Trading". At the time his prices were very good. I think the owner lives up the street from a rope manufacturer and runs the business from his home.

What size are people running on their furling drums? The rope on mine right now is way to short to stay back when the sail is all the way out. Looks to be either 1/4 or 3/16. Probably 1/4. --- In [email protected], "Phil Agur" <pja...@...> wrote: > > Todd, > > > > The specs in the manual can be found at > http://www.catalina27.org/images/c27_Rig1.jpg > > > > Phil Agur > <http://www.catalina27.org/public_pages/profile270.htm> s/v Wing Tip > C270 LE #184 MMSI 366901790 > > > > > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Todd > Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2010 10:42 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [IC27A] Halyard Length and size > > > > > > I am wanting to replace the 2 halyards on my 1978 C27 standard rig.
