The filing you see was done last week by me with a flap disk wheel when I had things apart to try to minimize the problem. I could try to grind it further, but then it occurred to me that since I use the spinnaker rarely, the whole thing might be an unnecessary part (solves one problem and creates another). As to the sheave- It looks fine and feels fine, although I have been unable to remove it. The sheave is pretty deep in the mast, so unless it were huge, I don’t see you could avoid a small angle from the diverter to the sheave which brings the halyard closer to the mast where it contacts the stainless edge.

PS- I agree with Richard. This list is awesome!
