Any of you guys have the N20 main and jib halyard lengths and widths? I'd measure them myself, but I'm not with the boat and I need to order new ones.

The main will be just short of 2x the mast length 64' would be plenty. My boat has 1/4". I do not know the luff length of the jib off the top of my head.

Do you use the wire jib halyard or the old prindle style S hook and ring? Also watch going too small on your Main halyard as it will work out of the track while sailing. This happened to me when I used Spectra for a halyard.

I use a non stretch covered with core 3/16 line for my main halyard.

I have a hook for my Jib and just use a tiny line which can get it to the top and in the ring.

My bad, turns out my jib halyard is a wire afterall. My friend on Maui is helping me deal with the boat, and something was lost in translation between me and him. Thanks for the help you guys.
