I need to purchase my jib sheets. Can anyone tell me what the proper length would be for a 130 roller furling genoa?

my jib sheet on my 9.2 is 45 ft via the owners manual yours should be about 4 ft less...or just go 1 and 1/2 times your boat length

the 8.0a manual calls for 35' but I'm sure that was for hank on for both jib and genoa. But I wasn't sure how much extra should be allowed for furling wrap. I guess the 1 1/2 times boat length would allow for that. Agree?
Thank you for your reply.

just figure it this way ...measure the distance from your fore stay back to your winch plus 4 ft and add the length of your foot plus 1 1/2 ft for the knot to attach it to the clue and that should work
