Chuck,
I wouldn't use the original line specs. Those were written years ago. Lines
are better and stronger now. I'd go to New England Ropes or apsltd.com and use
their line selector. You may end up a size smaller than the manual specs.

For my 35-1, I'm looking at 10 mm (3/8) VPC for jib sheets. I use StaSet X
Plus for halyards. I usually buy an extra 10-15 feet so I can end for end any
lines that get damaged on the active end. This policy has saved me $$ over the
years.
