line dia and length

I am looking for specs on sheet line for Tiger self tacking jib, need dia and lenght. Also need length of spectra for jib traveler application. Thanks

I run my jib sheet through the crossbar, no bungees, just tied together. In the sailing position, unfurled, your crew needs to be able to adjust it from the wire. It easily slips through the crossbar so you only measure enough for adjustment from one side. A continuous line: 8 1/2 feet Boat width, call it 4 feet from end of crossbar to your hand, 6 feet from hand to cleat, 2 1/2 feet from cleat to cascade block and 2 1/2 back to other cleat, 2 feet to other end of crossbar and you have finished the loop. I use 3/32 spectra at the ends to tie these together.

The other sheet line, that runs on the pole goes from traveller car to clew of sail and back through a block on the traveller forward to a block near the bridle and back tied to the cascade block that the first sheet pulls on.

We use 1/4 inch on the hand held and 1/8 on the other.

Thanks, Dan. The self tacker is installed. The clew angle is getting close to right. I still need to fine tune the mast rake and I think I will be right. The tacker has limited range of movement, approx 45 degrees. This shouldn't be a problem. Most likely will have to run with the jib a little higher than I would like for proper sheeting angle. Thinking about removing the roller furler and changing the bridle rigging to more closely duplicate a Tiger setup. My 18 bridles are 8" further forward than a Tiger which is the main reason the clew angle is off. Furler on a Tiger sits higher as well. I hope to get in the water this weekend or next and test it out.
