Stus-List wire-to-rope vs rope

My wire to rope jib halyard dates back to the 1980s and has some nasty meat hooks. I have several all rope halyards that were given to me and have sat inside my shed for years. I used the old wire halyard to pull one through and my original thought was to get another one made. This does raise an

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

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

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

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

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

Shouldn’t be a problem unless your sheave is one of those dual groove type, those are a little unkind to the rope. I would say go to low stretch halyard, and replace or re-groove your sheave. I made up a bunch of extra delrin sheave for my jib halyards, 4” X 5/8” with a half in pin. Probably

Stus-List Stuffing Box Material - Looking for Feedback on "Duramax Ultra"

Hello Listers, I need to address a leaking stuffing box on my 30-2. Recently, I found this product - Duramax Ultra. https://www.fisheriessupply.com/product-resources/johnson-duramax/duramaxultra-xhighperformancecompressionpacking-pdf The brochure sounds like what I need. Anyone using this stuff?

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 Fuse replacement and wiring

I understand the wiring in general and how the circuit works. I am not sure what the logic is to have created the double crimp tabs in order to bridge power from one fuse to the other. I get that each fuse will function for the circuit that goes to the panel. What I am unclear on is #1, why

Re: Stus-List Stuffing Box Material - Looking for Feedback on "Duramax Ultra"

Pete, I’ve used it — good stuff. I’ve never packed the box myself, but the mechanics I’ve used use that. There’s no way to determine the life span of the material — too many factors like the amount of engine use, RPMs, etc. You should make it a habit to check for drips on a regular basis. Al

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: wire-to-rope vs rope

Joe, About five years ago a bird decided to build a nest in my mast when it was down for winter storage.  The only problem I had (besides about 1/2 bushel of straw/twigs dropping out) was that the lines made good nest lining causing me to replace all internal halyards except the main.  Did no

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: wire-to-rope vs rope

Let me add this; in that about half the season the boat is cruised with the roller-furl 135.  About every other weekend the boat is raced using the twin foil so the halyards are constantly running over masthead sheaves for sail changes (genoa to spinnaker to genoa or upsizing/downsizing the gen

Re: Stus-List CnC-List Digest, Vol 170, Issue 32

I had a wire/rope halyard break late fall. It had a lot of age and broke on the wire at the sheave. I was going to replace all halyards to rope this spring. Comments in general are making me think. Sheaves seams fine still. Joel, what is a halyard end cover? Paul Hood '81 C&C34 Georgian bay

Re: Stus-List Fuse replacement and wiring

Dave, Piggybacking the supply from one fuse to another is pretty common, especially in older boats. Just need to ensure the proper wire size to carry the load to all the users. Pre-made breaker panels have a solid buss bar which carries the power supply to each breaker. The piggyback wiring is

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
