Hi everyone
My Mast, which left France in January, crossed the sea for three months and arrived in Japan yesterday.
I immediately opened my luggage.
Six halyards including the main topping lift and one outhaul and two leaf lines were set on the boom.
I need to arrange for other ropes. I would be grateful if anyone could answer the following questions.
1 Main sheet thickness, length and material
2Jib sheet thickness, length and material
3 A3 A5 spin sheet length, thickness and material
4 Boom vang and other control line thicknesses and materials
Also, I don't really understand how to use the backstay and the ropes that connect to it, so please let me know.
that's all.
It will float in the sea in another month

Hi The mainsheet will NEVER break so you decide on the thickness based on who your hands feel...On TREKKA I use 10MM double braid which is about as small as you want to go.... Jib sheet...again it is about handling...it will never break so you could use 10mm so best to buy a whole roll and then cut to length each item....length is measured on the boat and cut...so you can tack around inner forestay....and have a tail on the other side ready to tack again  A3 & A5 is a different subject...you want the A3 to be light so it does not weigh the sail down when you are drifting...the A5 you can use in quite strong winds so on both you need to be able pull by hand...you can go really small diameter if using high tech ropes....or just 6mm double braid dacron lines or 4mm stronger lines?? ...so the choice is yours...you will not break the lines but watch for chafe Boom Vang depends on how you rig it with blocks but again you need to be able to handle it....so on Trekka I use 8mm . When planning TREKKA I bought a roll of 10mm, 8mm and 6 mm and just used it up on bits and peices...then you can still use other special rope applications... The backstays are just a block and tackle purchase system so you let it out and run forward with a tag line...I describe that on TREKKA videos so look at them after the TRANSAT....so when you pull it on you let go the TAG line and pull in on the backstay purchase to tighten...I usually then do a loop to secure the clam cleat on the block. Hope that helps...check out all the pictures of trekka and others on TRANSAT etc.. good luck and happy sailing. Don |

Hello don Thank you for telling me a lot. I understand that. I saw various pictures on the net. There are some things I don't understand. 1A3 and A5 sheet cleat method. Are regular cleats good, or are cam cleats, clam cleats, etc. good? 2 I'm not sure where to use the latest parts of the blue shark. It is used in various ways in the photos, but please let us know if there is a place you would like to use here. (264.03 KB) |

I had used the running rigging lengths from a J22 and it worked well. See attached. Dan Line Lengths.docx (14.22 KB) |

You can cleat where ever you want for spinnaker sheets....I just use a cam cleat as the load is taken by the winch and I also have a Horn Cleat there to tie anything on...there are many different combinations so you can always follow TRTEKKA's deck plan or add things where ever you like...it is just part of understanding the sailing then adapting to what suits you....depending on the application...it can be simple...very simple...hope that helps.. |

Hi Builders.
I have the same question about the length and dimensions of the rope.
I measured the lengths of the ropes from the Selden mast package. Below this post you will find the dimensions.
I have to order now the endless gennaker furling line, gennaker sheets, jib sheet and main sheet, Vang and reefing lines, sheets for Backstays, anti torsion cable for the top down furler etc. Which quality, lengths and thicknesses did you choose?
Many thanks for your feedback.
Cheers,
Thomas
