Gary, We replaced the old halyards in 2005 with stripped 3/8 warpspeed on the jib halyard, and 3/8 Stay Set-X (not stripped) on the spin halyards. Wichard shackles on all three. We have had one instance of a spin shackle opening up (in very light wind if you can believe it). The set up works well, except when we use the spin halyards to hoist the genoa on a sail change and it slips too much. Not sure what MikeB removed, but he might have removed all that stainless up there (see Jeff Roy's photo in this thread). I have my mast on the ground right now, and plan on repainting it also. If I come across anything I will post it for the group. Also, how do you know your sheeves need replacement? John Stefancik Hurricane Kelley Annapolis, MD |
