These boats originally shipped with 3/8 genoa sheets... that's major overkill... so long as you can "handle" the smaller diameter, I found the 5/16 diameter to be much more functional, and substantially lighter (helpful in light air). I used my genoa sheets as actually one line, with a cow hitch in the middle. I believe I purchased 60 feet to make sure there was plenty extra.
