What advice can you all give me with regard to the rope that should be used for my replacement sheet? cc |

Your boat's brand new. Why the new sheet? |

3 to 1 with the original sheetline worked fine. Lots of line in the boat when the sail is fully out though. |

Thanks bob My plan is for 3:1 from 2 seats so I expect the sheet line to need to be longer. Cc |

I ran mine from the front cleat and was able to use it fine from the rear seat. I do tie my sheet-line to my reefing-line though. |

Cc, Search my old posts, I recommended the Marlow line. Nice stuff. Another modification I think is worthwhile is adding a couple of cheek blocks to the furling line, see my post on rear seat furling for pictures. J |

For reference - the Hobie mainsheet is spun dacron. 1/4"x 55' for the TI. 1/4"x 32' for the AI Reefing lines are both 12' |
