Laser 2 Rigging

I have unearthed a Laser 2 in a neighbor's dungeon. There are shrouds but nothing else.

Can anyone supply specs on length of halyards and forestay, so I can have them made locally?

Of course, I would like both the wire and the line parts...

Thanks.

I personally just got cheap and picked up some lines from Lowes for ~$20 and cut them to whatever length felt right after pulling it all through. That worked well at least last season. I also wound up replacing one of the shrouds again w/ simple galvanized wire from Lowes at around $10 and hand-hammered the loops in place. Everything lasted the summer and as of today still seems to be a decent shape.

Of course all of this comes down to cost and doing Stainless wires pre-cut by a professional would yield better results, but part of the reason I have a 30 year old boat is because I'm a cheapskate. Plus, I've just really enjoyed doing much of this repair work myself.

I suppose if the Laser 2 class were still racing in the US and I had some goal of complying then I'd have done things differently.
