Anyone have experience with this:
When I go into my H410 owners manual on page 46A; the mainsail, jib, and spinnaker halyard lengths are all listed as 118 ft. Same numbers are listed for both furling/traditional mainsails.
When I use this site's store running rigging calculator I get this: (all numbers lead to the cockpit)
Mainsail halyard,
Length: 125 feet versus 118 feet from the manual
Jib/genoa halyard,
Length: 131 feet versus 118 feet from the manual
Spinnaker halyard,
Length: 136 feet versus 136 feet from the manual
Jib/genoa sheet
Length: 66 feet versus 40 feet from the manual
Anyone hazard a guess why the discrepancy between each? When in doubt, go big and cut later but I'm a sailor after all and hate to be wasteful.
