Hi all, my reefing lines need replacing -- can someone tell me the length of the two lines, please?
1990 Catalina 28 tall rig reefing line length?

No...sorry. I've mentioned this in threads before, though....do NOT rely on what your manual might tell you or even what Catalina customer service might tell you. Likely to be fictitious, and on the short side, so unless you own a line stretcher, it gets expensive$$$$.

Sure.... Can you tell us
- the type of reefing you are using.
- The distance from the reefing cringles to the boom
- and the distance to the mast to where the reefing cringles contact the boom?
- Then do you have the reefing lines that run from mast to the cockpit and
- how far is the distance?
- Do you have one, two or three reef points?
- Are you using slab reefing?
- Do your reefing lines run to the end of your boom and then to the mast?
