Gary, Yes, all I meant was that the Sta Set line slips in the clutches a little and also stretches a tiny bit. When I replace those halyards, I will try for lower stretch line. My sheeves are the originals made for the rope to wire halyards and seem to work fine. I contemplated replacing them, too, but feel like they work rather perfectly. There is only so much time I can devote to work on the boat, and I'm glad I didn't make that a priority. Are you blasting your mast before you repaint? I was thinking that I would simply sand then paint. This is what was done when I bought the boat in 1996 and the paint job was OK for the last ten years (not perfect). Since we race the boat most of the time, I don't need it to look bristol, just function well. John Stefancik Hurricane Kelley Annapolis, MD |
