I replaced all 4 halyards in late 2000, so they've been thru 4 long years of racing, and are still holding up. Will probably replace them next year. I switched out the old main and genoa rope to wire with Spectra Warpspeed core 3/16" and covered at the ends (3/8") to fit in the clutches. My spin halyards are 3/8 XLS (don't really think the stretch is as important on the spinnaker). My sheeves were not buggered up from the previous wire passing over it and did not need replacement...we found that the since they were made for rope to wire, they fit the unsheathed Spectra perfectly.
