I didn't change the upper pullies, and am using 7/16 or the metric
equivalent (10mm, 11mm) for my halyards. I have three, one genoa is 11mm
VPC, the other is 7/16 Sta-set plus and the main is 7/16 T-900. I replaced
the blocks at the base and put in line organizers and run everything back to
rope clutches near the companionway. My spin halyard is external and is too
fat - 1/2 inch. We race, but are not over the top about weight, just want
reasonable cost and stretch. Having it comfortable to the hand and workable
in the clutches is important. The boat is so stiff, and we race in primarily
light air for short distances, we don't worry about extra weight up top.

Subject: Stus-List C&c 30 main halyard size
This fall one of my projects will be to replace worn out sheaves at the
base of the mast ,
Pull the upper pulley at the masthead and machine in a bronze bushing. It
still has wire to rope halyard and am either going to replace with a new
one or change out to all rope. My question is what size has anyone used on
a c&c 30 mki (1972). I know all rope is the go to choice nowadays but I
like the feel of the larger diameter rope end of the wire to rope. Thanks
in advance for any insight or experience , Scott
