Rob, I bought a Rocna 15 (33 lb) for my 35-1, which weighs (reportedly) 10,500 lb, and it works great. Looking at the Rocna chart for 33'/8,700 lb, (10m, <4t) the 22lb is the recommended size. Looks to me like you're in the right size range. Neil Gallagher Weatherly, 35-1 Glen Cove, NY On

one option is to attach the top lines to the spreaders, some 5-10 cm off the mast. This way the lines don’t interfere (or interfere less) with raising the sail. Btw. you need plenty of line for the lazy jacks. Much more than you think (at least, what I thought). 100 ft. may not be enough. Mare
