The old mainsheet is just too old and stiff.  Anyone recently replace their mainsheet?  What did you use?  Anyone recall the length?  I have the standard three bail rig to the traveller and the sheet leading to the mast and then down and back to the cockpit.

Thanks for any input.

Steve : One of the tricks that most of us use is to end for end our lines every few years to get even wear out of them.
The line size is 3/8 polyester (not necessary to oversize) and the length is in you owners manual (there's also a 1988 owners manual online in the C34 web site).   :wink:
