Time for a game - How much rope on my ordinary 35 ft boat?

[FullCircle]

Read the original brief. Your error does not overcome my pedantry. Shy_Talk at 1km wins the exalted prize.


The prize is to be collected at the Guinness tent on the last day of LIBS at 13:00. A pint of Dublin's finest.

Prize, not prizes? Surely there's a runner-up?

I'll try and make the Guinness tent.

Re: Rope on my ordinary 30 ft cruiser-racer . .

Mine wasn't too bad to buy.... all new running rigging, warps, anchor rode, etc (basically all the rope on board) for £300-£350. I can't complain at that.

I watched a friend, now sadly no longer around to warm himself and his beer by the fire at the White Bull at Alston, Lancashire, plunging a red hot poker into his beer. You'd sooner catch me crushing a lilly, painting gold black, throwing Airfresh at the violet, sanding the ice, looking at a rainbow through tinted glasses, garnishing the beauteous eye of heaven with kine dung or heat sealing the ends of my sheets.

Methinks it's nearer 978 metres 'cos of the 26 metres of Mainsheet you never declared! and No Kedge warp?

mainsheet is mentioned at 20m, due to coachroof mounting. Kedge warp included at 50m in Anchor warp section.
I stand by the current addition.
