I make my jib sheets only somewhat longer than the minimum needed for the
end of the lazy sheet to be at the jib lead, or clutch, or fairlead or
within reach--whatever is appropriate for the particular boat. Have to be
long enough to roller furl, if applicable.

Jib sheets which came with the boat are in need of replacement. The
existing sheets sem o be excessively long leading to much clutter in
the cockpit.

Is there a rule of thumb for determining the correct length of the
sheets? What line diameter would be best for this application? Jib
is a 135%.

What about cruising spinaker sheet lengths and sizes? Boat came with
the sail but no running rigging.
