I have a '71 C&C 35 Mk1 with the original 100% wire main halyard to wire winch beside the mast. In February I purchased 8mm (5/16") New England VPC to replace the wire halyard but have not yet as I believe I need to replace the mast head sheave (mast still up), remove winch, run line back to the cockpit, etc. Has anyone made this conversion in the past that could provide advice on the mast head sheave, removing old wire winch, routing of new rope halyard, etc.? Cheers, James Flamingo IV, C&C 35-1

If you’re a cruiser, you’re going to be happy with much less expensive line like StaSet or StaSetX. Best wishes for a joyous holiday season along with a happy and healthy (and breezy) new year.

Halyards are solid colors and sheets, outhauls etc. flecked or with tracers. (By following this convention, crews are able to move from boat-to-boat without having to be re-educated.)
