Hi,

I need to replace my jib sheet. I prefer to use a single jib sheet tied together rather than two separate sheets.

However, I am unsure as to the total length of sheet to purchase. Also, what is the best thickness.

Can anyone help?

The standard jib sheet is continuous - just a big loop on the trampoline.

Line / wire guides for all the boats are here: http://www.hcana.hobieclass.com/default.asp?Page=3018&MenuID=Resources/10815/0/

1/4" runs through the blocks better, but 5/16" is better on the hands. The line guide suggests 32', but that might be a bit short for recreational sailing.
