Jacob,

I replaced all my halyards with Spectra (3/16 but covered at the clutches) however the jib halyard didn't last because the sheave was chewed by the former wire halyard. If you are going to non wire, on the jib, you must replace the sheave. I feel that a wire jib halyard has the lowest stretch and the weight penalty is minimal. If you go with wire you must use galvanized, not stainless!!
