Defender sells the wire to rope halyards. All rope halyards can work in your

driven by cost. I like Chrystalyne or V100 for Jib and main halyards. The

Neil,
this cannot be. As Rick said, if the CB was below the CG, the boat would
instantly turtle, at the slightest provocation (the state of equilibrium at
rest (flat on the water, with the mast upright) would be inherently unstable).
Btw. this is why we carry around the heavy keels (to move the
boat to offset the
extra weight of halyards aloft. Now there's an idea that should make
the crew happy.

Add to that the fact that as the boat

Hi David,
I switched to spectra for both genoa halyards and the main halyard.
They are expensive, they are much nicer on the hands and there is
no noticeable stretch. The weight aloft does make a differenceI
don't remember the numbers but 10 lbs aloft equals one man on the
rail.or somethin
Good sailmaker, Alan! Bet you wouldn't go anywhere else for a sail, now.

Many years ago, when I wasn't winning races with my first boat, I spoke with my
sailmaker about getting a new sail. Instead of selling me a new sail, he
suggested I work on my crew work, and only consider getting a new sail when I'm
losing races by seconds. Dave, are you losing races by seconds?

Rope is lighter, DIY, easier on the hand, easier on the sheaves, rope
doesn't get fish hooks and won't chew on the other lines as bad. Often
times the rope will float depending on the material and may be hydrophobic.
You can also flip rope end for end when it starts to get worn or simply

David,
The rope is stretching over the entire 100 foot -plus length.
Halyard tension should be adjusted during a race - less downwind, more
upwind.
You would need to check the sheaves to see if they were changed. Rope
compatible sheaves are more V shaped.
Rope is more of a DIY project unless you

You might want to have a chat with the folks at Mars Metals. They may have a

Hello Harold,

Harold,
I swapped halyards to all rope because I race and the old ones were getting
a bit ratty. Those wire halyards weigh a lot more than you think. Can I
feel the difference? Not sure, but I know I had a positive effect on
stability. Less weight aloft. The wire/rope sheaves are OK for al
Rate the same? H.
Only one 35-3 in my PHRF area (a FK) now but when there were both versions,
they were rated differently. My 35-1 owed the K/CB but the 35-3 FK owed me.
Don't recall the differentials.
Remember we usually held our time on the FK version both buoy and distance
racing. T
Harold,
I switched to all rope (VPC) using the same sheaves with no issues over 2
seasons. If weight were an issue I would go with Dyneema with a cover for
the clutch.
The PHRF ratings are the same for the 2 models. I've never sailed against
a c/b model. (I need to race Chef Dave next year!) I
