After end-over-ending my jib sheets last year I finally gave in and bought a set of new jib sheets, plus a new main sheet. 50ft each! What a difference it makes! The old ones were trusty and solid, but just way too stiff and extended, really nearing the end of their life span. I went down one size to 7/16, New England Sta-Set, breaking strength at 7100lbs. According to the calculator that is plenty of safety for the Tartan34C. Also I changed the colors such that the tangled mess in the cockpit is easier to divide up :-)
