Im 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 doesnt appear that I have anything for my cruising spinnaker and will
need both sheets and a tack
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.

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
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
