Joe,
About five years ago a bird decided to build a nest in my mast when it
was down for winter storage. The only problem I had (besides about 1/2
bushel of straw/twigs dropping out) was that the lines made good nest
lining causing me to replace all internal halyards except the main. Did
not replace the sheaves and have noticed no abrasion of the lines. fwiw

My wire to rope jib halyard dates back to the 1980s and has some
nasty meat hooks. I have several all rope halyards that were given
to me and have sat inside my shed for years. I used the old wire
halyard to pull one through and my original thought was to get
another one made. This does raise an obvious question – why not
just use the rope?
My fear is that since the sail usually only comes down once a year
if that, the rope will get chewed through on the masthead shiv. Is
this an issue?
