[quote=P.M.][quote=schoen.steve]My inter 20 on a 10:1 total sheet length without traveller is about 35ft. I still need to trim off a couple feet. 8mm bzzz.[/quote]
Should have said order and trim length to personal preference. So, I ordered 42' and buried about 1' of that in the splice. My mainsheet is also the traveler. Once I got everything rigged I trimmed to length. For me, my crew works the mainsheet. I want him to be able to sheet the main/traveler single sheet from the wire forward of the shroud and be able to hold the line in his teeth or lay it across his waist (to free up hands when needed). It's a distance racing thing . . .
I just measured mine and it is 33', which includes the traveler (minus the taper and split tail). And when it is stankin' there is ZERO room for play.
Using the main as the traveler adds about 13-14' from the trap position in my set up.
Advice to hullflyer is order too much, you can always shorten it.[/quote]
