I had my 1977 mast down last winter and rebuilt it. If it's a 1975 I'd check the top sheaves. Especially if your going all rope.
I got new custom sheaves made here (Port Townsend): http://www.zephyrwerks.com/ $38 a sheave! I also took the opportunity to fit a spinnaker crane while it was down - my mast didn't have one. Got one from: http://www.rigrite.com/Spars/SparParts/MH_Spinnaker_bails.html All new standing rigging - I bought the boat in 2002 but it could have been 1977 vintage for all I know. Replaced all the halyards with high tech stuff from Annapolis Performance Sailing: http://www.apsltd.com/ Jib halyard - Yale PhD Main halyard - FSE-Robline (2:1 with a Wichard MX halyard shackle)

Spinnaker halyard - Yale MaxiBraid Plus Also rebuilt my ProFurl furler with new plastic bearings in the foils up the forestay. Hopefully it will now outlive me! sam C&C 26 Liquorice Ghost Lake Alberta On 2013-02-28, at 11:46 AM, "Joe at Zialater" <[email protected]> wrote: > The mast on my '75 30 MK1 is out of the boat while I rebuild the mast step. > > > So I plan to replace those nasty old wire halyards with some high tech > stuff.
