I have estimated that 48' will be more than meets my needs. I'm less certain about the nature of the line I should purchase (I'm guessing no streach...but that will be expensive...not sure if that would be of any real consequences.) and the diameter too as well as a good source, please,
Thank you,
Is the topping lift just attached at the masthead? Or does it run down to a cleat at the mast? Or does it come back to the cockpit? 48’ may be enough if it is fixed at the mast head…not if it returns to the cockpit and probably not enough if it cleats off at the mast base. I ordered 90 feet for my fairly short mast (O’Day 322) for a topping lift…but mine is routed to the cockpit.
I found this on Cajun Ropes where I have purchased line before…
it shows 40 feet…seems way to short.
On SBO, I found this manual for a 30T…
It shows 86 feet, which sounds more like it to me…
I have had good luck buying some line here on SBO, and CajunRopes.
i am sure you can call either one and get a recommendation.
