When I replaced my halards (main and headsail) I used the same wire rope
combo that was original with the boat.
I race lightly, and cruise. Definitely it was the cheapest option. My
rigger had indicated that a good inspection of the sheaves at the
crane should be done if going to an all rope version, as sometimes the
wire will have chewed into the sheaves which will cause
it to chew into your new expensive rope. Also, you would need to check
to see if the new rope halyard would fit in the sheaves properly,
ie the shoulders and tracke of the sheave are wide enough to accept the
rope halardy. Probably saved me a few hundred bucks and
works just fine. If you go the all rope route and need to replace your
sheaves, Zypherwerks can make them for your:

Not sure what you mean my foresail, perhaps Spinnaker? Those are
external run on my boat and lead to a block outside forward part of the
crane. I'd like to get them a little further out, but haven't gotten to
that project yet, as if the Spin isn't fully flying it can get snagged
in the headsail
when furling it....but with a little training everything works just
ifne. My spin halards are all rope based XLS, which I know has more
stretch than
other lines, but then again I'm not racing for americas cup...just
around the buoys for some fun.
Hope this helps in your decision process.

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking to replace my foresail and headsail halyard on my C&C 30
MKI, my foresail is a combination of wire and rope. The boat is used
by new sailor for cruising.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
