Hi Bob,
The new wire/rope halyards are Yacht braid for the rope part, a
balanced polyester construction, not anything "new".
There is no stretch issue with Yacht braid for the 5 feet or so of
rope between the end of wire and the clutch.

Hi Dennis,
Spectra core with polyester cover.
After the first failure, Serge (the rigger) put
extra bulk in the core where the hoisted halyard
lands in the clutches. That helped for all but
one clutch, the starboard jib. After numerous
failings over 3 years they got changed back to
ol' reli
I just bought NER 3/8 VPC for jibsheets. Put eyes on each end and am
going to try APS ltd's version of soft shackles. Tired of the bowlines in the
7/16 StaSet hanging up on the forward lower shrouds.
We'll see how this works.

I just replaced the halyards on Delaney (another 38 MkII) using New England
Ropes VPC 7/16". I really like that it has a polyester cover, nice hand and
very durable but you still get most of the benefits of the new high tech ropes.
Much easier on the wallet too!!!

I'm curious what the non-wire rope is and whether there were any
difficulties splicing wire with a "newer-type" rope.

I've noticed lately some of the newer lines, possibly T-900, etc. may be more
prone to slippage in clutches and self tailers when new. After some use, they
begin to hold a bit better. One might consider throwing new lines in a
commercial washing machine to give them some "experience".

My C&C 30MK 1 built in 1981 Hull 675 has a 2gm Yanmay 13 HP 34oo rpms
with a 7/8" shaft. It is off set from the rudder so the shaft csn be
pulled without pulling the rudder. The Engine is offset in the engine
mount...

Interesting question. I haven't really looked real close, but it appears from
the companionway to be centered. It's a Universal 3 lunger, but started with
an A4.
It must be slightly crooked then to match up with the shaft.

Hi Ron,
"Gracie", a IOR vintage custom 45, has gone back
to wire & rope for jib halyards after too many
cover failures from slipping in the Spinlock clutches.
So if you go the high strength fibre route you
might need to factor in the cost of better clutches, such as Lewmar.
Cheers,
The engine, unless it has a CV or universal joint in the driveline, has to be
closely aligned with the shaft.

This spring I have assembled a Web Site on Arpeggio, a 1984 C&C 32 that
covers many aspects of the boat and upgrades and cruises that I have made
since it's purchase in 2005.
I did this instead of commissioning Arpeggio and sailing this season due to
a shoulder operation and necessary recovery
Another strong vote for Garhauer.

Well, at this junction, the vang attachment will be a ‘cheap and cheerful’

Ron,
As Gary said. Anchovy is hull 1 built in 1971. Centerline 7/8" shaft
hanging of of an Atomic 4. Question for you. If your prop and shaft are
offset, is your engine mounted crooked or just off center?

Love Block Island though...
