I like wire to rope, 7/16 inch braid to wire for genoa and main halyards on Alianna, genoa blue tracer, main red tracer all cockpit led.I consider for my purposes that the slight added weight aloft is insignificant especially with the substantial stick on my 35 MKII.7/16 braid is easy on the hands and works well on the winches and the masthead sheaves Dwight Veinot C&C 35MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Knecht via CnC-List Sent: September 27, 2014 8:33 AM To: CnC CnC discussion list Subject: Stus-List Wire-rope halyard I need to replace the genoa halyard on my boat and am wondering about the disadvantage of wire-rope over high tech line. The original spec line is wire-rope. From what I have priced, wire-rope from APS is cheaper than a dyneema type very low stretch line (Warp Speed/Endura) and about the same as somewhat low stretch line (VPC). I see the advantages of wire-rope as price and essentially no stretch. The only disadvantage I see is a bit more weight aloft, but as a percentage of the total weight aloft it seems insignificant. Am I missing something? Dave Aries 1990 C&C 34+ New London, CT _____ No virus found in this message.
