Dennis Thanks for the info and pictures. Your set up looks like what I'm trying to achieve. When you say a small diameter high tech halyard should work, what diameter where you thinking? I purchased 8mm VPC (but have not tried it). I'm reluctant to go much smaller as it may be hard to hold / pull on. Thanks again for the pictures, I am going to take a closer look at my end to see what is possible. Cheers, James ps: my 35-1 is s/n 75 so very close to yours.

Touche's sheave is a wire sheave not a wire/rope sheave. The sheave box is fairly narrow. So far I've been reluctant to make the conversion. It would require a couple hours work at the masthead to enlarge the opening and install a new box. This would be complicated by the existing hole pattern. My opinion, and that of some other listers is that a small diameter high tech halyard would work in the existing sheave. However, I have removed the wire winch and run the main halyard aft. I removed the fixed halyard exit sheave at the mast base, covered the hole with a metal plate and installed Garhauer swivel turning blocks for all the halyards, topping lift, etc. The halyards run aft to Lewmar triple rope clutches. As I recall, the wire winch sat on a teak base on the starboard side. I simply plugged the holes with teak bungs. You're welcome to look at pictures of Touche's deck organizers, mast base turning blocks, etc. here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_sb5TfIENvsNll4b3ZwM1B4a28 The holes for the fasteners for the deck organizers and rope clutches are covered by nylon plugs. Here's a pic of the plugs covering the nuts for the rope clutches. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ep3_LqsCzqnnNYUtU6OPFDGGeMoeA3jo I upgraded the cabin top winches to Barient 22's. That required strengthening the deck under the winches. I epoxied additional layers of roving in the access. You're welcome to contact me for any details. Dennis C.

In February I purchased 8mm (5/16") New England VPC to replace the wire halyard but have not yet as I believe I need to replace the mast head sheave (mast still up), remove winch, run line back to the cockpit, etc. Has anyone made this conversion in the past that could provide advice on the mast head sheave, removing old wire winch, routing of new rope halyard, etc.?

If you’re a cruiser, you’re going to be happy with much less expensive line like StaSet or StaSetX. Best wishes for a joyous holiday season along with a happy and healthy (and breezy) new year.

Halyards are solid colors and sheets, outhauls etc. flecked or with tracers. (By following this convention, crews are able to move from boat-to-boat without having to be re-educated.)
