Length of Halyard Jeanneau 36

[caoimhin]

I have a Jeanneau Sun Dance 36 the same as a Sun Odyssey 36 and I require the length of the main halyard
to be led back to the cockpit. There was no main halyard when purchased.
Many Thanks in advance

The owner's manual for my SO35 specifies that the main halyard is 32m (105 feet) in length. This is not necessarily the same as yours, but it might be close.

Do you have an owner's manual? You can get a PDF version for many models. For instance, try anciensbateaux.jeanneau.fr/doc/proprietaire/manuelproprietaire_1_20080306_Manuel_fr_ang_SunOdyssey36.pdf.

If I read it correctly, the main halyard is 26m, but I don't see any drawings that indicate whether the halyard is led back to the cockpit.

Don
Many thanks for the info I went to the link which states 26 m I will go a bit extra.

You might also try sailboatowners.com. THey have a lot of boat already listed with approx lengths for sheets, halyards etc. A simple method is 2x the mast height plus the length of the cabin top plus 3'/1M or so for winch wrap. You might add another 3' or so to that if you plan to keep the halyard at the back of the mast when not in use.
