You can have your disagreement. It's too late for me I have my wire
rope halyards.
They were half the price of what I was quoted in two separate shops for
all rope. I agree, I probably wouldn't have had to replace the
sheeves at the mast head. However, if I were going to do it, I think I
would because the cost of a new improved sheeve would
be significantly less than the price of the halyards. If there were any
nicks or abraiding points in the old sheeve from the wire halyard
going over it the investment would be well paid for in the price of a
new halyard.
Perhaps U.S. vs Canada availabiliity makes up the difference. I went
local and I'm happy with the results.
Cheers,

Yeah, I know, but that’s what I used on my 38 so I knew the price....

7/16 would be overkill for a 30. That's what I have on my 35 with the
original sheaves.

Jeffrey,
Not sure I agree with your conclusions. 7x19 SS wire isn’t what I
would call cheap, plus you would pay for a rigger to do a wire to rope
splice plus an eye splice. A hybrid high tech line like New Englands
“VPC” is much less expensive ($1.79/ft for 7/16” at defender) and it
only would need an eye splice at one end. As for replacing the
sheeves, may of us on the list have had no problems running all-rope
halyards over the original sheeves.

Last year, I was thinking of replacing my halyard with all rope
halyard. However, after a fairly lengthy discussion with sailmaker
and rigger,
I decided to replace with wire rope. I wasn't that keen in replacing
the sheeve at the masthead, and my rigger successfully argued that
the wire rope halyard had served it's purpose well for the last 30
years...(not sure if was original) so why not replace it with the same.
That statement probably cost him a fair bit of profit as all rope
halyard would have been more expensive, but I respect him for giving
an honest answer.
Cheers,

This fall one of my projects will be to replace worn out sheaves
at the base of the mast ,
Pull the upper pulley at the masthead and machine in a bronze
bushing. It still has wire to rope halyard and am either going to
replace with a new one or change out to all rope. My question is
what size has anyone used on a c&c 30 mki (1972). I know all rope
is the go to choice nowadays but I like the feel of the larger
diameter rope end of the wire to rope. Thanks in advance for any
insight or experience , Scott
