I just replaced the halyards on Delaney (another 38 MkII) using New England
Ropes VPC 7/16". I really like that it has a polyester cover, nice hand and
very durable but you still get most of the benefits of the new high tech ropes.
Much easier on the wallet too!!!

I'm curious what the non-wire rope is and whether there were any difficulties
splicing wire with a "newer-type" rope.

Hi Ron,
"Gracie", a IOR vintage custom 45, has gone back to wire & rope for jib
halyards after too many cover failures from slipping in the Spinlock clutches.
So if you go the high strength fibre route you might need to factor in the
cost of better clutches, such as Lewmar.
