I need to replace most of my running rigging. I don't have a list of running rigging diameters or length. I don't want to just replace what is currently there because what is there was on the boat when I got it and not all the lengths and diameters seem correct. Can anyone help?
How long should they be?

I don;t know if this helps but I just set up my sheets for the asymetric spinnaker. I had read that the length needed to be 1 1/2 of the boat length, but I wasn't certain so I bought 100 ft of 1/4'' from Minnie's for $25. I did my own eye splices with some fids that I made from scrap ss tubing. There are some good videos on youtube that show you how. There are also some great books. Once you've done your first one the rest come much easier. The diameter of the jib and genoa are 5/16''.
The point is you can custom make your own for a lot less.
