I need to replace the genoa halyard on my boat and am wondering about the disadvantage of wire-rope over high tech line. The original spec line is wire-rope. From what I have priced, wire-rope from APS is cheaper than a dyneema type very low stretch line (Warp Speed/Endura) and about the same as somewhat low stretch line (VPC). I see the advantages of wire-rope as price and essentially no stretch. The only disadvantage I see is a bit more weight aloft, but as a percentage of the total weight aloft it seems insignificant. Am I missing something? Dave
