I have recently bought a derelict nacra 20 and am trying to put it back together, I am now at the stage of replacing the lines and sheets, is there a list with the appropriate diameter and lengths of all the sheets or can someone just tell me. There is 62 feet 7/16 new warpspeed that came up on craigslist and i hope this will work because it is half the price of new stuff.

40 feet of main sheet
10 feet of traveler
May need a little more depending on eye splices, tapers and split tails.

7/16 is pretty large, 3/8 will run thru the blocks better, but I'm a 5/16 fan my self and taper that.

On a spin boat, I like my traveler a different color than my main sheet.
