Locking wiping, whipping?

In the end, what worked was adding the second core to the 5' of halyard where the clutch needs to grab. On that boat, we also removed some core from the tail end of the halyard, which made feeding thru clutches easier. If you are doing this remember to add some locking wiping to keep everything in place. On the J35 I race on now we actually added a second clutch inline for the main and jib halyards, this helps but when it is really blowing we still take the halyards to a horn cleat as well (but no locking turn).

J boats all have cam cleats. Our Frers has a horn cleat. On windy days our main and jib halyards will slip if this is not used. On the C&C 115 we would lose 2 feet of hoist on main if we did not tie off the halyard somehow.

New to the boat? B. If yes to the above, is it properly sized for the clutch? C. If old, is there visible wear on the cover or signs of non-recoverable compression where the clutch holds the rope? Try end for ending the halyard to move the wear area to a different spot. If wear seems excessive, replace the halyard before it comes apart under load. D. Are the clutch teeth worn? Depending on the brand of clutch, rebuild kits can be sourced. If nothing else has changed on the boat and the halyard has just started slipping, this is the usual culprit.

Thinking of adding another cover at the point where they pass through clutch. Any thoughts or solutions beyond replacing clutches or halyards. now I take to a cleat, but cumbersome as I have both on same side with a single winch and when remove from winch get a little slip before can cleat off..
