Some people thicken the line where it passes through the clutch in one of two ways. If the core is hollow, it's easy to pull a short length of small diameter line into it. If the core is solid, it's a little harder to can add a cover. The jib halyard clutch area is small if all of your sails are full hoist, and three to six feet should be enough. You need to allow for reefing the main so a longer line or cover is required on the main halyard, but that can be measured on the boat by hoisting the sail and marking the line.
The main halyard and jib halyard present the highest loads and should be routed the most direct route possible to the right side of the winch drum, while other lines like the pole lift, cunningham, vang, spin halyards, etc, can take the bendier paths. This little detail helps reduce friction and allows me to hand hoist my main.

The design hasn't changed much so find a picture on google and see if you can remember well enough what yours look like. Mine have no trouble with 5/16ths up to 1/2 inch.

Got a GOOD price on some 3/8 Warpspeed from W.M. Does anyone know what brand/size of halyard clutches C&C used in '85? There is a set of double Schaefer clutches mounted outboard of the original triples, either side of the companionway, pictures I have aren't good enough to identify them and the boat is 3 hrs from here.
