That was me !
This was the first winter that I ever left the mast up and the first
time I have ever had to send someone up the mast !
There is a moral there I think ?
Thanx for this information .
I suspect my 1/8" messenger line popped off the sheave and the splice to
the 3/8 halyard line is jamming up .but if I'm going to winch someone
up there I would like to be prepared .
Its been raining every time I tried to look up at the masthead with the
binos and so far I haven't been able to see what is exactly wrong

Somebody asked yesterday about the main halyard sheaves at the mast
top for the C&C 26.
I rebuilt my mast a couple of winters ago (new sheaves; halyards;
standing rigging; spinnaker crane).
I've just found the invoice from:
http://www.zephyrwerks.com/default.asp
This guy is in Port Townsend, Washington.
Three sheeves (black Delrin with bronze bushes) were $38 each.
I changed the original aluminum sheaves for wire/rope to all rope
(5/16").
The box at the top of the mast is pretty tight up there, so the new
sheaves were a match with the old sheaves.
I ordered:
3" Dia x 9/16" wide with a bronze bush for a pin dia of 0.432". (I'm
sure the original pin dia was 7/16" - 0.4375" but wear over the last
36 years had reduced the pin dia, so I ordered to suite)
The new sheaves fitted perfectly.
(I've got the old aluminum sheave in my hand as I write this, so the
above is accurate)
