I guess the silly question is the one not asked.
I initially hesitated but then went to a 135 headsail for my 250WB.
When the sail is fully out, the sheets seem to interfere with the lifelines.
Is there a different routing for the sheets for the 135 vs the 110?

I don't know if it's right but I route mine over the lifelines forward of the shrouds then under aft of the shrouds. Seems to work for me.

Thanks for the info; exactly what I needed. My boat is an early model and I see that I need a new track to get the sail around the shrouds.

I have a 1998 WB 250 #370 with the same track but route mine inside the rail and shrouds. It usually poses no problem other than the where the line attaches to the sail hanging up on the shroud when pulled in tight.

Jay, do you route a 110% or a 135% inside the shrouds? Seems that a 135% would get stopped by the spreaders.

Next time I am at the boat I will take pictures. The jib doesnt contact the spreaders, even when pulled in tight. I have the car on the track forward from the one in the picture above almost to where the cleat is. The only problem I have is when I pull it in tight the lines attached to the clew snag on the shroud and need to be "popped" off to run free.
