I recently purchased a '94 P-19 however r.rigging was shot and Im replacing jib sheets and main/traveler. Does anyone have suggested lengths for continuous jib and main sheets? Also any suggestion on a high tech line that is soft on the hands as I want to get most performance when I purchase new sails.
Thanks in advance

I love robline fse racing sheet for my mainsheet. it is a dynema blen. very soft, doesn't hold water (after it falls overboard)
It is too light for a jib sheet though (hard to get the needed whip or curve in the line to uncleat the jib)
I use regular xls for my jibs
I also like Salsa line for my spin (would work as a main). It's a bit cheaper than the racing sheet.
Only problem with this line only comes in 1 color/pattern and that's not optimal on a beachcat (don't want to pull the wrong line when the shit hits the fan) -

+1 on xls. I use that on both my boats. You can whip it, whip it real good out of the blocks -

this is for the 18-2, but it would be close if not the same for the 19:

I have seen on the internet that several cats have a bridle attached to the clew of the jib and the jib sheets attach to each leg. Is their a specific purpose for this? How long should the bridle legs be? I was thinking of using a straight Dyneema with eyes? Thoughts?

The bridal line for the jib is 5-6 feet in length and does have a purpose it will allow you to sheet the jib in just a little faster when racing. We also used a pigtail on the main sheet about 12-16 inches long. If you were using a 6 to 1 mainsheet system it would mean that your mainsheet could be 6-8 feet shorter and sheeting it back in after a tack would be quicker and easier. -
