What is the length of the genoa sheets? Preferred diameter?

Thanks.

I use 50 feet of 3/8 inch diameter for the jib sheets.

Nick, that's for a Luggage Tag knot giving each side 25', right? If anyone plans on separate sheets tied with a bowline, add a foot or two to each side.

I agree. I use the “luggage tag” knot.
