I am away from my boat and would like to know the diameter of the genoa and stay sail furling lines. I can't figure it out from the manual or the online sources. Does anyone know - - mine are original black and white fleck, 20 years old, I think it is time, I am afraid that they will fail when I need them the most.

Thanks

George:

On our IP35, with Harken SS Furling Drums, the black and white flecked staysail furling line is 3/8" and the blue and white flecked jib furling line is 1/2" Both the jib and the staysail length, when the sails are furled will run the entire length back to the boat, which on thje IP35 is 32 feet one way for the staysail and 36 for the jib, I have a 135% jib. So I take all this as this:

Staysail 3/8" x 62' Black and White Flecked

Jib 1/2" x 72' Blue and White Flecked

This should be the same diameter for the IP 40 except longer.
