Running Rigging

[photojoe]

Brion,

I read your book awhile back and now I'm looking for information for sizing the running rigging. Rope diameter for a given sail area. I have the RM, Sail Area, but can't seem to find the information for sizing the rope for Halyards and Sheets.

I was also surprised that you didn't dedicate more time to running rigging in your book, considering that sheets and Halyards take such abuse, Tips and caveats for running rigging would of been nice.

Then again I might not find it in the book because I'm looking for it.
