This is exactly what I did as well. No problem at all. Dave

No problem with the sheeves on either. And I stitched a messemger line to the end of the rope, pulled out the old halyard, stitched the messenger to the end of the new halyard, and pulled it down through the mast. Easy-Peesy. And as a bonus, if you still have the oversized halyards made of yacht braid, you can switch to a modern line and go down a size or two on the diameter.
