Scott, 1/2", my god tat is freakin HUGE! I thought the original halyrads were all wire/rope. I do not know if the halyrad guards are all the same. The tolerance between my genoa sheave and the guard is so tight that I could not pull my 1/4" halyard with a 1/8" messenger taped to it through. I had to remove the gurad first. That is a whole 'nother story. I spent 8 hours last weekend getting the flat head machine screw on the front of the guard out. I tried several methods and in the end had to drill it out and retap the hole. I posted the whole agonizing saga on the Cruising World General Messages board. Go read it if oyu want a laugh. Yes the 1/4" T900 does create a much bigger clutch slippage issue than most lines. This would not have been my choice for line, but the previous owner spent good money on them and I can not justify replacing them. |
