| Function | Length | Diameter | Taper | Line Type | Notes |
| Spinnaker Sheet | 52' | 5/16" | 44" | WarpSpeed, Swiftcord Maffioli | |
| Spinnaker Halyard | 80' | 3/16" | Optional | Marlow Racing, V-100 | |
| Main Sheet | 51' | 5/16" | 11' | Dyneema Racing 2 (Marlow) | Most use anything with a spectra, dyneema or vectran core. This allows for a easy taper. Swiftcore can also be used here if you don't need or want a taper |
| Rotator | 24' | 5/32" | NA | Marlow Racing | Rotator line is led back to the dagger board well |
| Downhaul (cascading 8 to 1) | 30' | 3/16" | NA | Marlow Racing | This length is probably too long for most using an 8 to 1 cascading cunningham |
| Jib Sheet | 32' | 1/4" | 1' | Marlow Racing, V-100 | Tail of jib sheet is led into the front crossbar. This length is also for the self tacking jibs. |
NOTE: Lengths and tapers will vary depending on your boat setup. Mast rake will affect where the taper on the mainsheet is in relationship to the main cleat. The taper above is measured for a mast rake setting of of 5 inches down the transom. This is also true if you choose to strip the cover off the spinnaker halyard. I'd recommend setting up your boat varying the rake and marking your lines prior to stripping the cover.
