halyard length?
What is the length of the mainsail halyard on the V224? I'm bringing the line aft and the one on the boat is too short. Don't want to lower the mast...Lazy I guess. Thank you.

Re: halyard length?
The halyard length is however long you make it. 
Seriously, though, if you are leading lines aft I would double the height of the mast and add fifteen feet.

I have a ven25 and my mast is about 28ft.
So I guess you will need 70-75 ft.

Re: halyard length?
Thank you. Saves me the trouble of lowering the mast to measure (I keep my boat in mast-up dry storage).
