he owner’s manual for the DE 38 (obtained from Todd on Cloudshadow;thanks,Todd) shows rope dimensions for sheets as follows:main 100 feet of 3/8″;staysail 75 feet of 3/8″and jib sheets 100 feet (I assume that’s the total for two) of 1/2″. I bought TOR II last year and the sheets in place are:jib sheets,53 feet each of 3/4″;staysail 100 feet of 1/2″;and main sheet,45 feet of 1/2″,all look like New England Sta-Set. Sailing from La Paz,Baja to San Carlos,Sonora,there were no problems. But,I don’t think these are right,especialy the mainsheet,which may be too short. What do you all use? Are there any reasons not to use the larger rope sizes-certainly handling larger sheets is easier although heavier overall.
Thanks. Tom Latta
