No this information is not generally available to the class. If you look at the rules on this website it is full of blanks. Within the Class Association a few years ago we debated if we should measure everything and populate a chart. After some debate however we decided that as we had not got access to the manufacturing dimensions and tolerances whatever we measured would be bound to be slightly wrong dependant on the boat (or boats) we measured. Additionally, Rigging length is not a thing we have ever scrutinised boats for. We concluded that leaving people to their own devices (as has happened for many years) was the best option. So you have the following choices:
1) Buy original equipment from Windsport which is made to the manufacturing tolerances.
2) Take your bits down to the local chandlery and have them copy them.
3) There are a number of other suppliers who have made their own measurements and can supply the rigging to what they believe are the correct measurements. These include Spencer Rigging and Sawford Marine.
