Re: Stus-List 34 genoa sheets

I use 10mm VPC with an eye on each end and soft shackles on my 35-1.  Moved
on from 7/16 StaSet.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_sb5TfIENvsMU9xOXBVd3F5Slk

Really like the soft shackles.  They don't hang up on the shrouds like a
bowline knot.

The VPC has decent feel once it breaks in.  It is a bit slipperier on the
winches than StaSet.  Takes and extra wrap or two.

Re: Stus-List 34 genoa sheets

[CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List]

FWIW, I have a set of genoa sheets made from 3/8" red MaxiBraid. which I got 
for racing. I spliced luggage tags into one end and use a soft schackle to 
attach to the sail.
Chose Red to help prevent a problem when crew stood on the tail of the sheet 
being released, and the genoa caught on a spreader tip. "don't stand on the red 
line". This line size worked OK but needed an extra wrap on winches so I 
wouldn't recommend it for cruising.

Stus-List 34 genoa sheets

[Francois Rivard via CnC-List]

Hi,

I use 1/2 inch Sta.  Easy on the hands, best bang for the buck.  No need
for any shackle just use a "Luggage Tag Hitch " or "Girth Hitch" knot.
There are enough opportunities for this thing to snag during tacks as it
is.

I've been using the luggage tag hitch on all my foresail uses for
several years. No issues.  Simpler is better.  :-)

Here's how to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z8-y0Ag8vo

Stus-List 34 genoa sheets

[Jeffrey A. Laman via CnC-List]

1/2" is the original size for C  Replaced mine with same a year ago.  The 
size depends on what winches you use and what feels good to your hands.  Most 
boats have had the winches switched out over their life  so it's possible the 
1/2" doesn't match with the winch 37 years later.

When you order, have an eye spliced on each end for the soft shackle.  Or, if 
you haven't done it, do it yourself -- splicing is a very useful skill to have 
and not difficult to learn.

Re: Stus-List 34 genoa sheets

[Chuck Gilchrest via CnC-List]

John,
Strength wise, you could even get by using 3/8”, but it may not grip in self 
tailing winches and would seem small and hard to grip.  7/16” is what I use on 
my 35 Landfall.  I avoid ropes with high modulus cores like Dyneema, Spectra, 
and Vectran as they tend to make the rope stiffer and will hold a “set” when 
wrapped around a winch.
FYI, R in New Bedford,MA is holding their Ropefest sale on April 27.  20% and 
more off everything.  They stock New England, Novabraid, Marlow and Samson plus 
a full service rigging shop.  They also have great deals on surplus ropes and 
spool ends.

Re: Stus-List 34 genoa sheets

[Nathan Post via CnC-List]

I selected 1/2 inch for the genoa sheets on my 34. I am sure 7/16 would be 
adequate, but I like the larger diameter for hand tailing (we don’t have self 
tailing winches).
