Let me add this; in that about half the season the boat is cruised with
the roller-furl 135. About every other weekend the boat is raced using
the twin foil so the halyards are constantly running over masthead
sheaves for sail changes (genoa to spinnaker to genoa or
upsizing/downsizing the gennies).

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?
