Roller furling lines length?

[133bhp]

Just realized I need some standard doyle jib lines - roughly what lenghth on an X?

Blue Water Yachts says it's 5/16" x 46 ft for a standard jib. Presumably, that's the length for both of them together, in a single length of line.

You'll need a little longer for the furler than just for a jib I would think. Mine are just about right at 32' total. That includes for both sides, one single length overall. When I roll my jib up, that allows for about 2 turns around the sail too. 46 sounds a little lengthy.

I recently needed to measure mine and they exactly 46' total which is 23' for each side. I wondered why not 50'
I have an M but it must be the same. I ALWAYS wrap them 2-3 times around the furler and have a few feet left at the cleats. BTW, wrapping helps prevent unfurling if a strong wind grabs the clew of the sail.

Seems like two different "lines" of thought. Jib sheets at 45 or so yields 23' out each side and the Roller Furling line at 23-26' to set-out and retreive the sail. (or is it just too early for me to get it)
