I replaced my main halyard sheave around 5 years ago with UV Stabilized Black UHMW Poly. I had several made up, thinking I would also do my jib sheaves soon. Well, they were bigger! If anyone is interested I would like to sell them, probably 5 bucks each. They are bored to accept a pair of commonly available SS roller bearings (not included). With these, the dimensions are 5/8" thick, 4" Diameter, and 1/2" axle. Very smooth, as you would expect. http://www.vxb.com/page/bearings/PROD/Kit21063

Would anyone please share info on replacing the halyard sheaves? There seem to be good resources for replacements, but I cannot remember what the masthead looks like exactly with respect to their access. She's a '76 C$C 33-1. Once the mast is unstepped, I think I could replace them myself. Has anyone here done this? Does it require any special tools? Can I get replacements before I have the old ones out? Thx for any info or directions. Barbara H.
