I would guess my lines are either 1/2 or 9/16. >>> "Phil Agur" <[email protected]> 7/12/2010 4:05 PM >>>
That’s a common generic problem created by owners trying to make the lines easier to handle. They increase the diameter thinking it will help make it easier to sail when in fact most of the time it adds friction and increases crew fatigue instead. Any line larger than 5/16” has been super sized at some point. There is also a tendency among racers and performance sailors to convert to lower stretch line, which is fine, except what makes a great halyard maybe way to stiff to run freely through a block set. Phil Agur s/v Wing Tip From: ic...@yahoogroups. I have the same problem on my 81 standard rig. I think it is that mt traveler lines are either too large for the blocks or the line has lost flexibility so it does not run free. I am going to downsize the mainsheet line one size and see if that helps. Could be that the blocks need lubrication also. I am going to start with the cheapest fix and move my way up.
