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. Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 05:25 P

I'm curious what the non-wire rope is and whether there were any difficulties splicing wire with a "newer-type" rope. Bob M Ox 33-1 Jax, FL On Sun, Jul 21, 2013 at 1:57 PM, Russ & Melody wrote: > Hi Ron, > > "Gracie", a IOR vintage custom 45, has gone back to wire & rope for jib > halyards afte

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,
