Mainsheet Length

Does anyone happen to know the length of the mainsheet on a Mk I? I need to pick up a new one and forgot to take a measurement when I was at the boat last weekend.

I think the configuration is pretty standard as far as how the sheet is run like a giant "W" through blocks on the boom bails, traveler, pad eye and back to the winch.

Thanks
Bill

Bill, have you considered either looking in your hard copy boat manual or checking the one online right here on your great C36 website?:)

Thanks Stu, my manual is on the boat and I have spent the last 30 minutes searching for the owners manual on the website with no luck. I found manuals for the engine but nothing for the boat. If you can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

Bill,
I know that the owner's manual for both the MkI and MkII are on the Tech Notes CD, which is free to all three year new members and renewals.

Even if I had the CD it would more than likely be in the laptop on the nav station in the boat. West Marine is here in San Antonio, the boat is an hour north, I was hoping to save myself a trip.

I found my copy of the Tech Notes CD, and the relevant page shows 7/16 dacron, 80 ft length. At least that's how I read the table. Please check the attached before you buy.
