rigging wires

I believe they are 5mm metric size, which falls between 3/16" and 7/32" Imperial sizes.

Just found some old notes from measuring my rigging. These are approximate lengths taken to estimate the amount of wire needed to replace my standing rigging.

Forestay 31.5'
Backstay 28.5'
Backstay bridle 14'
Cap shrouds 30.5' each (X 2)
Foward and aft lowers 16' each (X 4)
Total 199'

Hope this helps,
