Can anyone tell me what size line was used for halyards on this boat? Any info would be very helpful. Thank you!

3/16 is typical running rigging for your boat and perfectly replaces the old steel cable topping lift and main sheet line. I replaced all that with fresh rope running rigging.

Im sure he meant 5/16".... it will (rope/line) actually measure larger than 5/16, and 3/8 rope/line will measure larger than 3/8... 3/8 line will drag as it runs thru the blocks and sheaves, so its not a good option. stick with a quality 5/16" yacht braid and you will be happy.
