I use Sta-Set X on jib and main halyards and StaSet on the spin halyards.

I just replaced a couple spin halyards and used Sta-Set again as per my riggers' recommendation. According to my rigger the sheaves on our boats are 'Hybrid sheaves" meaning their design will accommodate either without any issues. When it's really blowing, you have to re-tighten the main halyard on occasion, the rest are pretty much "set and forget". This spring, I also replaced the main sheet, boom vang control, and cunningham, all with Sta-Set. It's reasonably priced and works well. -Francois 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, Ga On Saturday, September 27, 2014, David Knecht via CnC-List <[email protected]> wrote: 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
