I now use low stretch 5/16ths line I ordered from Cajun Trading in Nova Scotia. ~Dan --- On Thu, 4/22/10, Michael Bowick <[email protected]> wrote: From: Michael Bowick <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [IC27A] Halyard replacement To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, April 22, 2010, 5:05 PM Have you ever accidentaly let go of a wire/rope halyard? The ropes is heavier than the wire and the halyard ends up at the top of the mast. If I was changing halyards, I'd go the low stretch rope for 100% of the halyard. Just my two cents.
