Charleston in-mast furling

Does anyone know the size and length for the in-haul and the out-haul mainsail furling lines? Mine are in need of replacement.

Additionally does anyone have the size and length for the topping lift? I think its 100' of 7/16"?

I used 100' of 3/8 for my topping lift. Replaced this season.
My outhaul is 55' of 7/16, though it seems a bit long.
The inhaul is 52' of 7/16". I will increase a few feet when replace.

Thank you! I looked in the boat and the Charleston Spar manuals and could find no info.

FYI - 2002 MKII In-Mast furling tall mast rig.

I found the running riggings specs in the original boat manual, as one page of all of the other specs, hardware, electrical, etc. Manual is on the boat, or I'd upload a pic.

My topping lift is 5/16th at 100 feet which is a bit short, another 5 or 10 feet might be prudent.

My outhaul is 50 feet which is adequate.
