Neil:
If my boat was installed like Steve's, I wouldn't even worry about
it.....I don't race.....my genoa is a roller fuller...it goes up and
mostly stays up. And the way I use my main, I hardly doubt the
chaffing would be any worst than the UV damage....probably not going to
shorten the life of any halyard under these circumstances.

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.
