I give a big +1 for Gauhauer. Easy to work with and very good at quite
affordable prices. And if there is any issue, you can call them and talk to
Guido. They would try accommodating just about any request you might have.
E.g. they built a 3:1/6:1 mainsheet block for me, even though it wasn't in
their catalogue.

Agreed. I just up/downgraded my jib halyard from 7/16 hi-tech (I don't even
remember what) to 11mm VPC. Looks great, feels good (not up yet) and has
less stretch than Sta-set X for about the same dollars. Thanks to a lister,
got it for 40% off on West's one day sale!
I (1980 boat) switched to all rope halyards nearly 20 years ago - did not
change sheaves - my hi-tech halyard was damaged more by the rope clutch than
the sheave, hence the replacement. And, 20 years is not bad!
Unless you have a huge budget, look at Garhauer for any equipment you may
need. I have gradually moved to their stuff over the years and am pleased.
You do, however have to use polish on it every now and again. I have solid
vang, rope vang for my split backstay adjuster, adjustable genoa track/cars
and rope clutch. All perform as advertised.

I'll point out that it is true that the high tech synthetic are much
stronger and do allow you to down size, they can be very hard on the hands
and not work well with rope clutches and self-tailing winches. The other
option is to stay with the original size and use a Mid-tech rope such as
New England VPC. It is easier on the hands, works very well in rope
clutches and winches, and the vectran core has very little "creep" which
is very important for a halyard that is under constant strain.

Purchased a 1985 C&C 33 MKII this winter, doing some research on updating
and refreshing stuff. So I have a few questions, if you'll bear with me.
Mast is up and theres several feet of snow in the boatyard, 200 miles from
here. Also boat needs to come home around May long weekend, likely a 450
mile sail.
1)Halyards are rope/cable, and badly worn/weathered, I've read that the
new synthetics are much stronger and we can actually downsize to 3/8 and
skip the wire cable?
2)Are the sheaves grooved to fit the cable? Should they be changed out?
What size might they be?
It looks to me like the rope clutches may accommodate the smaller lines
(spec says originals are 7/16)
3)Instruments are pretty much done, I think they're original signet, wind
unit is off mast, is there the possibility that I could pull new wires in
while pulling the old wires out and install new wind unit without taking
the mast down? (no, heights don't bother me)
I have a gently used Loran unit if anyone is interested...............;))
Thats enough questions for one night
Thanks
