My DH line runs through the rigging on the mast and sail then runs down the beam hits a block and back to the shrouds which isnt totally stock. my line is 30' give or take a few feet. Didnt have a tape measure so i had to use my height as a measuring device. If you rig it stock it will be considerably shorter (8-10')

Yes I did, Christmas came early. Time to learn a new boat to me. I've been out on the boat twice now and am in the process of correcting things as I find them. The boat seems to be in great shape. I had to adjust the rudders: new hooks so they stay down and a 3:1 purchase to aid in pulling the rudders up. One step at a time. Thanks guys for the feedback. I hope to be out Sunday sailing.

First you need to tell us what ratio downhaul you have 3X1, 6X1, .... 12X1 ....

If you can post a pic of your downhaul system ....

I have a 12X1 system on my P19MX .... I think ....
