Re: Stus-List wire-to-rope vs rope

I replaced my genoa halyard with all rope after I bought the boat and have had routine problems of the halyard being chewed through in a place at or near the sheave. It takes a season to wear through the cover and so far not the core in that time, so I replaced it twice and respliced once and

Re: Stus-List wire-to-rope vs rope

Joe -- When I purchased the 1981 C&C34 in late 2017 it had what was likely original halyards -- wire to rope halyards -- main and jib. I purchased a new wire rope main halyard for the start of 2018 because the sheave setup required wire. I replaced the jib with all line the beginning of 2018.

Re: Stus-List wire-to-rope vs rope

I went all rope (main and Genoa) around 2008 on the original (1977) aluminum sheaves. Had no problems for about 5 years. I rebuilt the masthead sheave box in about 2013 with custom delrin sheaves from the guy in Port Townsend (can’t remember the name of the company) Sam Salter C&C 26 Liquoric

I haven’t had a problem in over 20 years – but my sheaves were not damaged. Gary From: CnC-List On Behalf Of Joel Aronson via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2020 11:13 AM To: cnc-list Cc: Joel Aronson Subject: Re: Stus-List wire-to-rope vs rope Joe, Unless the sheave was damaged

Re: Stus-List wire-to-rope vs rope

We had a wear problem on our Main Halyard so we went back to wire to rope on that. We've never had a problem with the Jib / Genoa or Spinnaker halyards as the mast exits for those are well protected on our mast (built by Offshore Spars). Ken H. On Wed, 11 Mar 2020 at 12:12, Edd Schillay via CnC-

Re: Stus-List wire-to-rope vs rope

Joe, Unless the sheave was damaged, it should not be an issue. You could add a cover to the end of the halyard. Joel On Wed, Mar 11, 2020 at 11:02 AM Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > My wire to rope jib halyard dates back to the 1980s and has some nasty > meat ho

Re: Stus-List wire-to-rope vs rope

Joe, Yes - that’s an issue. I had to go back to wire/rope after quite a few halyard breaks. All the best, Edd Edd M. Schillay Captain of the Starship Enterprise C&C 37+ | Sail No: NCC-1701-B Venice Yacht Club | Venice Island, FL Starship Enterprise's Captain's Log
