My lightest sheet is 4 mm Robline. I hate having to use it.

 Ron,

 For the symmetrical the 80' sheets you have should be long enough, but
 they may be hard on the hands in a breeze.

 I use the spin pole downhaul as a tack line. I added a shackle to the
 bow stem and move the snap shackle on the downhaul to the bow stem shackle.

 I know APS and others recommend longer sheets, but I don't see the
 need.  For the symmetrical they need to go from the headstay to the turning
 block, around the winch and up to the trimmer.  50 may be short, but you
 would only be using 9/16 if downwind in a blow, not on a reach.  The asym
 needs to be the length of the foot of the chute, plus from the headstay to
 the turning block around the winch and to the trimmer, or roughly 2x boat
 length.​

 Hope this helps.

I use two part spin sheets.  1/4 inch Dyneema stuffed into StaSet.  Strong
and light where need be and easy on the hands on the trimmer end.

Not sure anybody is still making them.  Many now use tapered sheets.

On my 34+ I fly an asym on a sprit. I use 3/8 for spin sheets. I have 1/4
for light air.

I would go minimum 3/8 and consider 7/16 for the 37+

2x boat length is correct for the asym. I used to fly a symmetrical and
just repurposed those sheets. One of the guys is now the tackline which I
ran aft to the cockpit.

Before I got the sprit when flying a cruising chute I used the downhaul
line but put a snatch block on the anchor roller to get the tack out ahead
of the forstay.

Stus-List Spinnaker Sheets & Guys 37+/40

2015-08-18 Thread Ron Ricci via CnC-List 
I’m wondering what size and length other owners use for sheets/guys for
their spinnakers.   The FO left me a collection of lines and four spinnakers
( ½, ¾, 1-½ oz. symmetrical & cruising).   

 

It doesn’t appear that I have anything for my cruising spinnaker and will
need both sheets and a tack line.  Depending upon where I look, it seems
that I should have a sheet length between 80’ – 100’.  All I have is a 70’
½” line.  Also, does anyone use parrel beads or an ATN tacker?   

 

For my symmetrical spinnakers, I have 2 guys 57’ x ½” which appear to be OK.
The sheets I have are 80’ x ¼”, 63’ x ½” and 50’ x 9/16”.   Except for the
¼” line, they all seem short.  Mauri Pro sells sheets that are 92’ long.
