I'm looking for this number because my yard will be taking the mast down this winter so i can do a thorough rigging inspection and replace halyards. I believe it's about 48feet but would like to be sure.
Also, I thought there was an index of the line lengths and diameter for our running rigging? Can someone point me to it?
Thanks,
Ed

Re: Mast length from deck?
Ed, here's the running rigging specs from the C350 manual. I've replaced most of my running rigging and found that the lengths quoted here sometimes are on the long side. The best approach is to measure yours before ordering.

Thanks Ken. So you know what YB and XLS stand for?

Re: Mast length from deck?
Samson rope site says "XLS3™
XLS3 is an update to a classic line —
now stronger and more responsive with an
updated look. Cruising sailors looking for
optimal performance will appreciate the
low-stretch polyester construction, smooth
rendering, and long life of XLS3."
but I can't find any references to Y.B. line.

Y.B. could be Yale Bull rope, but I know nothing about it except looks like braided polyester line.

I believe YB refers to Yacht Braid which is just another name for double braid rope.
