Default Catalina 27 righting moment

If anyone here has done wire size calculations from Brion's book for a Catalina 27, can you tell me what type of values you used for the righting moment? I am looking at upsizing the rigging on a standard rig Catalina 27 and I have had several diffing opinions on the stock wire size. I want to run my own numbers, but I am missing the righting moment info and the boat is on the hard so I can't make measurements. I realize every boat is different, but any ballpark numbers you guys may have could help me decide if upsizing is the right thing to do. Thanks for any information.

Ryan
