| Post subject: | Main sheet and furling line lengths? |
I am looking to replace my main sheet and furling lines on my 2013 AI with some green and red line, while rerouting my furling line to pull from the port side. Does anyone have the factory lengths of these on hand by chance? I plan to go and actually measure them, but figured I'd ask as well. Thanks! |

It is mentioned in the catalogue (see at the top of the page under Accessories.) I always download the latest version. The numbers are 57 and 12 feet to save you looking. |

Was that for the TI or the AI? As I said I would probably do, I roughly measured and rounded finding the main being 31 feet, and the furling being roughly 8 feet. Your numbers seem nearly twice as long for the main, and a 3rd more on the furling. |

The Latest catalogue says 33 and 12 feet respectively for the AI. |

Hobie says the furling line is supposed to be 12'. On checking the line length they sent with my 2016 TI, it was only 10'8", which was too short to use. I called my dealer up, who contacted Hobie and got them to cut me a new length. I wanted the 16" they shorted me, and an extra 8' so I could route it port side to the rear ama bar. I was willing to pay the difference, but Hobie was kind enough to cut it to 20' gratis. I added a couple of pulleys, to route the line under the front ama support and to clear the front seat steering, then drilled and tapped the ama on port side for rear seat full control. Now I only have to order the crew to manipulate the center board for me, as everything else is controllable from the rear seat. /Robin |
