I need to replace my Main Halyard as well as my Jib Halyard on my 1976 Gin Fizz. I really wanted to check what the manufacturer spec was before I just started buying rope. I have a copy of the original owners manual, but it doesn't list the sizes of running rigging. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: No information except links to Laura Dekkers trip was found on the Jeanneau.com site.

So for any future users that look I ended up going with 7/16. We aren't racing so the higher break strength didn't seem worth it. Have replaced one halyard and it seems happy in the sheaves. Matching up the lines to pull them through also seemed to be the same size.
