[C38] Halyard question

[Steve Smolinske]

Brett it really depends where your winches are, (spin and jib halyard
winches for me are mid ship on deck) I always figured for the mast its
50 from the deck to the top, So I start with 100 feet then add on the
length that allows you enough room for a spinnaker take down anywhere on
the boat, (foredeck or cockpit) then long enough tail for leading to the
cockpit if you want and for trimming off for repairs. For me that makes
the spin halyards about 130 and for the main I usually go about 110
(winch  on the mast)

To save me time from measuring and looking things up does anyone know of
the top of there head what length and size the following halyards are

Spinnaker 
Jib 
Main (still on the mast) 

Also suggestions on place to order them from? 

We had a samurai take down on the spinnaker during Friday night race and
had to cut the better of all my halyards and now I figure I should just
bit the bullet and replace them all. It's time. 

We still got 4th place. 

Thanks
