According to our sail plan:
Forestay 9/32" 1X19 approx 41'
Staysail stay 9/32" 1X19 approx 26' 10"
Backstay 9/32" 1X19 approx 41' 8"
Upper Shroud 9/32" 1X19 approx 37' 11"
Intermediate Shroud 9/32" 1X19 approx 26' 5"
Aft lowers 9/32" 1X19 approx 15' 1"
Forward lowers 9/32" 1X19 approx 14' 8"
Bobstay 3/8" 1X19 approx 8'
Bumpkin Stay 3/8" 1X19 approx 4'
Whisker Stays - Unknown.
Total 9/32" 1X19 wire approx 300'
7/16" running rigging is specified. We estimate, the running rigging and sheet lines require about 600' of rope.
Hope that helps,

Aloha is getting new running rigging. I have the spec sheet, which I
can scarcely read. Does anyone have the detailed specs for halyards
and sheets and the basics? We measured, and I’m wondering if any of
you have been through the exercise.
Any advice?

This information would be a good resource for the BCC discussion group.

I inherited the loading inventory from Tom and Jill Unruh’s boat
when mine was delivered. I’m sure they wouldn’t mind my sharing it. There
is a page that specs all of their running rigging which I can scan and
forward to you. Let me know.

Kate, I believe the original plan called for 9/32 wire (1x19)for the
head and back stays, staysail stay and upper shrouds. Lowers were
1/4. Bobstay, 3/8. Whisker and boomkin stays 5/16. On Waxwing, I
standardized just a bit by using 9/32 for the lowers instead of the
1/4.
I do not recall any running rigging being stated but we did go with
7/16 on halyards(all rope, Marlow pre-stretched three-strand), and
1/2 Samson braid on the sheets. I think all the running rigging could
have been smaller by one size (strength wise), but we like the ‘fit’
for handling of the 7/16 and 1/2 inch.

Kate:
When BCC 115 was commissioned I got the following list for
halyards/sheets:
RUNNING RIGGING LINE SIZES – BCC 28
Mainsheet - 1/2" - 96’
Jib top sheet 1/2" - 96’
Staysail sheet - 1/2" - 55’
Reacher sheet - 7/16" - 115’
Main Halyard - 7/16" - 80’
Jib Halyard - 7/16" - 85’
Staysail Halyard - 7/16" - 60’
Reacher Halyard - 3/8" - 100’
Down Haul - 5/16" - 60’
Topping Lift - 5/16" - 80’
Jib Furl - 5/16" - 60’
Main Reef Stops - 5/16" - 60’
Boom Vang - 3/8" - 40’
Lazy Jacks - 1/4" - 13’, 14’6", 13’6", 15’
The sheets were either Stayset or Staset X (I can’t remember). On the
staysail sheet I changed to 7/16 as that size fits the #16 lewmars
staysail winches better.
Hope this helps

Thanks Pete,
Very helpful. I think Ill go with stayset x for halyards and the furling line. How about some nice yacht braid for the sheets?

Dear Kate and Group:
Here are the running rigging length specs courtesy of BCC 117. I
got 9/16" sta-set?? with the boat for all my sheets and have since changed
to 1/2" as it fits the ABI blocks properly. I use sta-set for halyards as
well. I made my halyards slightly longer as I tie everything off through
the little eyes at the base of my stanchions when at anchor or in my
slip…also nice to have one slightly long halyard for lifting dingys, crew
members, etc. Sta-set X is good if you are a racer but unnecessary if you
are cruising and a bear to splice properly. I would not use X for
sheets. Kate: yacht braid is gentle on the hands but seems to fuzz up with
use…
For those of you not needing this, I apologize for clogging up
your disc space but there were enough interested folks that I decided to
send to whole group.
Best regards…Tom

Thank you all so much. This group is a great resource and we can all
pick and chose what we want to keep. I think you are right on! I
decided against the yachtbraid as it is not as traditional. I’m going
for all white lines and 1/2 stay set for all the reasons your
reccommend. I like handling a little thicker line as I can grab it.
Your thoughts an an extra long halyard are real good too.
