Hi, Anyone have experience going from wire/rope halyards to all rope? One of my two wire genoa halyards got twisted around the furler this spring prompting me to want to replace them.
I gather I have to investigate the mast sheaves to see if they are appropriate for the job. On the cabin top I have 2 double Lewmar clutches on each side. The only marking I could find on them is 9.5-12, which I assume is the line size range in mm. From what I have read, if I use a smaller dyneema line, it can be bulked up in the clutch area. Any other tips or considerations? Thanks, Derek McLeod Aileron, 1983 C&C 29-2 Toronto _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
