I switched to all rope, got rid of the wire. No problems with the sheaves, but keep the line diameter small, as there is little room on the forward side of the mast between the sheave and the tab to which the forestay is attached. I reversed the clevis pin to make more room. I tried 11mm VPC, but it dragged on the clevis pin, so I dropped to 10mm. For cruising, Sta-Set or Sta-Set X would work. VPC has less stretch and is about the same in price.
