I bought sheets that would go with my largest genoa (155%)(and, by extension would also work for the smaller ones which require less) and my mainsail. I guessed wildly rather than actually measure and ended up with about 3' to spare. What I bought was: 85' of 7/16". The original was 3/8" but I went up a notch for the comfort that's in it. I think 7/16" is about the max that will run through my blocks. Tod
