You know, I couldn't be sure, but I think I bought 20 metres and did a half hitch at the clew, so there were no giant knots to get fouled on shrouds. I too didn't want to go to the boat to measure, so I figured it would be at least as long as the boat when the jib was furled. When I furl the jib I end up with 4 wraps on the winch, plus about a 1 metre tail.
Not sure if this is of any help, but.....
Merry Christmas!

its better longer that I can cut them then too short
