We use Vectran for the main halyard due to the high load of the sail. We
also use this for the jib halyard. You can get away with something less =
for
the spin halyards. We did change over the sheaves to a larger diameter
sheave way back when so it wouldn't break down the high tech lines (it =
was a
more a function of the turning radius). I'm not sure if that's entirely
necessary with the new lines - but Layline should be able to tell you.
They're pretty helpful.

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. =20
=20
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??
