Hello, I'm replacing the running rigging on my new 1985 Rhodes 22.  I am somewhat new to sailing. The son of the previous owner did not have much information for the boat.

Question = What is the proper length for the main halyard? What is the proper size line?

My boat has about 60+ feet of 5/16 inch line and that seems way too much to coil at the base of mast.

My limited research suggest a 1/4 inch main halyard line with 51 feet.

Also, if anyone has other preferred/proper sizes/lengths of the other running rigging, I would great appreciate it.  Thanks in advance.
