Is there a rule of thumb or formula as to what length they should be.


Long enough to reach from the winch (with a wrap or 2) to the jib clew with
the jib blowing fully forward.

That is what I said, most recently two years ago. No-one
contradicted me. We must be right!

So, I am no longer unanimous in this?

Progress?

There's hope for common cents, yet?

Yippee!

See a penny, pick it up. All the day, you'll have good luck.
Then throw the silly beggar a way, and another to keep it company.
Soon the streets will be paved with coin and cents will be common
again. -Me
