Mine is all line, not even tapered line, but that's the way I got the boat. It also just occurred to me that this boat had been dismasted prior to my purchase, so the rig I got was already post-production and hence may have been built to spec for rope halyards. I know he said it took almost a year to get the new mast from Hall.
Maybe a quick note to Hall will get you the information. Otherwise you may need to measure the sheaves. Maybe you can use a tapered halyard to replace the wire, if the diameters work.
I guess the question goes out to the rest of the fleet - did your masts come with narrow sheaves for wire, wider for rope, or perhaps dual mode with a deeper narrow groove in the sheave?

Are you using all line and if so did you need to replace the sheaves at the top of the mast??
