Hi Steve,
your easiest solution is to contact Andy Holmes of Wet & Windy in Bristol who sells all the sheets and halyards to size and length.
The spinnaker halyard is approx 18m or 19m. With the kite hoisted or dropped it should form a loop in the boat that almost comes back to the helms feet. The loop needs to be kept neat by using a "tidy", a small block on a piece of 2mm elastic tided to the rear footstrap fixing on the stb side ( or somwhere similar ). With the kite hoisted the halyard ( & tidy ) should be long enough not to distort the shape of the kite with the kite full.
