Haylard lenght

[mike mouse]

need new haylards, how long should they be?

 

[David Foster]

Not sure of the length, but

West Marine has packages made up for different mast heights. We bought on for our main, and it reaches back to the cabin with enough left to make a little coil when we leave the boat with the main down.DavidLady Lillie'77 h27

formula

About 2 times mast height, plus tailing.

Use Steveo's formula plus...

enough line to reach the water. You want to be able to pull someone out of the water.

As previously suggested plus:

I would calculate enough to allow the shackle to reach the water for pulling out a MOB, up to the mast top, down to your cabin top and back through your turning blocks
