Hi all. Would anyone know and like to share the diameters of the different ropes and total length required to replace the running rigging on a 4.6? I want to replace mine, all of which is rather dry rotted or sun deteriorated, before I take my maiden voyage. I’m leery of taking diameter measurements of the old rope because of its condition, and the fact I don’t have anything to take the measurement with besides a measuring tape. I assume that combination might lead to some problems. I was planning to replace the sheets / ropes this weekend while I set up the boat for the first time. Thanks!
