Uses and Specs for Hobie, Nacra, Prinldle, and Solcat catamarans: We have indicated the purchase ratio on some of the boats. If you are using a modified main-sheet system, with more or less pulleys on your mainsheet, the general rule of thumb is add 4 feet for additional pulleys, and subtract 4 feet for fewer.
