Length of 10mm line for a Hunter 37.6 mainmast furler

looking for the length for the inhaul in mast furler for my 37.6

Wouldn't that depend on the mast manufacturer? Perhaps not all H37.6 have the same gear.

You posted this in the Cherubini Hunters forum and none of our old boats had in-mast furling (you might try posting under "Big Boats" in the Hunter Owners Forums) but I will opine that if you measure the length of the boom and add the run of the in-haul from where it leaves the mast to where it cleats, then add a fudge factor of 10%...you will be close.

You will when you pull it all out. LOL As mentioned above, I would start with 2.5E then trim what you don't need. So that would be 4,7m x 2,5. (notice the cool European style numbers? LOL)

This is one of those times people should have the owners manual.

Isn't it amazing how previous owners make manuals just vanish? Kind of like a sock in the washer or dryer; they just... vanish!

Our 35 year old Beneteau still has her manuals, unfortunately all in French. I took Latin and German in school, no help there!

The amount of line on a roller furling drum is generally equal the the length of the foot of the sail plus maybe 10% - as a rule of thumb. But yes, it is generally best to unspool and measure. If you look under "Boat Info" at the top of this page and select your model (376 I assume) you will find a downloadable version of the manual here.

Thanks for the info. New to,the boat and in mast furling. Make,sense to unspool and measure.
