Steve,

 

That is a great idea.  I would think if you stagger the Zip Ties (around the
clock looking down on the wire) every 90 degrees, you would end up with your
wires running down close to the middle and create 4 smaller channels for the
halyards.  That would reduce the amount of movement of the halyards.

 

With you installation, have you found any abrasion on the halyards in your
mast?

Hi Neil,

 

I own a 32 and when I re-wired my mast I used the largest zip ties I could
find and zipped them around the wire every couple of feet as I fed it in.
Once inside the mast the long zip tie "tails" press against the inner walls
of the mast and they do help. I don't know what to do about halyards though.

 

Hope that's helpful.
