My measurements in meters / mm:
Side: 7.135m (7135mm) -> Shorter better to allow stretch and adjustment -- 6.8m
Fore: 6.335m (6335mm) -> Now measuring about 6m to have adequate tension

7/29/19 Update:
I've installed the stays and they were not exactly the same length, but close enough (a few inches) so that they could be adjusted by the side-hole adjuster. Next, I'm going to work on the forestay replacement as dyneema is much easier to work with.
9/16/19 Update:
Amsteel stretches 1 to 1.5 feet per 22 feet of 1/4" line.This must be taken into account when determining line lengths, and lashing adjustability shoudl be built-into the design for tensionning. I lash with 7/64 amsteel, use 1/4" Stainless thimbles (316) and take 4 lashes around for an expected strength of 4* 1600 lbs = 6400 lbs (2909 kgf).
