You can replace the rubber ring. Barton makes them.

First thing is to replace the wire/rope with all rope.

My jib halyard is shot. I always assumed I needed another wire/rope because
the sheaves are made for wire and would damage an all rope halyard.
Is this wrong?

If there are rough spots on the sheaves they need to be replaced before
switching. Also, you need to make sure the sheave is wide enough for the
rope you want to use.

Many of the wire-rope sheeves are a v-groove. While not perfect the
v-groove is designed to accommodate both wire and rope. They can "box" the
rope over time but won't cause significant degradation or wear.

I recently replaced my double braid main halyard with Sta-set X. It was
more difficult to splice than double braid, but I was able to do a
reasonable job. Definitely less stretch, and I'm pleased with the
results. If you Google New England Ropes, you can download their booklet
on splicing.

I switched from wire/rope to rope without a problem.

IMO Absolutely. But even more argument for low stretch and low slip... ie
"high tech/high performance".

I have raced on a couple of J-80’s and now on a C&C115. All have rope – all
have furlers, and they don’t take anything down during the season.
Don’t see a problem.

Here's a reference to help you with loads.

I race and typically go with smaller diameter lines to help them run more
smoothly. 3/8" (10mm) for almost everything except the main halyard is
7/16". But that also means I upgrade the type of line to reduce

The sheaves are designed for both. I transitioned to all rope and have never

I don't see the point in changing to all rope on a cruising boat with roller
furling. Set it and forget it, and no worries about chafe or UV degradation up
at the top. Wire lasts longer than anything in that sort of service.

The halyard I am replacing was last replaced in 1987, so we did get our money's
worth out of the wire. The wire is actually fine, the rope is what is beat.

Due to the inability to replace a broken torque tube, I am upgrading
from a Harken original roller furler (1980s vintage MK 1, but not called

and I cut up/recycled the old foils. Before I recycle the rest o
Steve, you make a reasonable point. If someone is changing their halyards
just to change them then it makes little or no sense. If the halyard needs
replaced, then replacing with all rope is easier and possibly cheaper. You
can do it without special splices and It also allows freshening the nib
Hey,
What does 'set it and forget it' mean?
No offense, but if you sail in 5 kts of wind and also in 20 kts of wind you
really should be adjusting halyard tension (even on a boat with roller
furling).
In low wind you want the halyard 'soft' so the sail has more draft and
generates more power. I
Steve,
There are several reasons to go to an all rope halyard for a cruising boat:
1. While wire does indeed have low stretch, 1/2 of the rope will still be made
from all polyester. In a 45' mast, with a potential 3% elongation at 30% load,
that still translates to nearly 1.5' of stretch. Not
Matt, were your foils aka torque tube connections secures with rivets or
screws? I need 6 screws for my old harken furler.

Screws. I should have asked sooner – as I said, I already cut up and recycled
the foils. I did not think to remove the screws first (which were secured with
red Loctite). Sorry.
With the exception of the foil pieces, I do have the other various screws.
Does that help?

Thanks for the offer but all I need is the foil screws. I hope. Pulling my mast
