Grenadine came with mainsail halyard and spinnaker pole topping lift exiting the mast on the starboard side, and two headsail halyards exiting the mast on the port side, plus the spinnaker halyard (external to the mast) cleating on the port side of the mast. I switched the mainsail halyard and

Re: Stus-List new haylards - now re-configuring halyards

In my experience headsail halyards are led on the port side and main on the starboard. On SLY we carry just three headsail halyards configured as one jib and two spinnaker. When changing jibs we use one of the spin halyards and back to the jib if we need to change headsails again. This all

Since everyone was expecting me to reply to this one anyway— I’m also very happy with Warpspeed. :-) If you are going to race your boat, you’re going to want the best no-stretch stuff out there. If you’re a cruiser, you’re going to be happy with much less expensive line like StaSet or StaSetX.

Re: Stus-List new haylards

I switched to all rope, got rid of the wire. No problems with the sheaves, but keep the line diameter small, as there is little room on the forward side of the mast between the sheave and the tab to which the forestay is attached. I reversed the clevis pin to make more room. I tried 11mm VPC, but

Nobody yet has mentioned the “sensible” and cost effective Canadian approach to buying halyards, Novabraid! Pre-made halyards can be bought through Cajun Rope in Yarmouth, NS featuring Novabraid XLE which compares well to Sta-set or Samson XLS. For an alternative to VPC or MLX, both of which

When I replaced the furling headsail on my 30mk1 a few years ago, Brad at Doyle Sails in Halifax recommended using 3/8 Bora from Stright-MacKay for a halyard. I'm happy with it. I just pulled the old wire/rope main halyard out of the mast this fall and ordered a new rope halyard from Cajun Ropes

If you want to go the performance route, race your boat and spend more $ and if your sheeves allow it has previously stated, You can go full dyneema. In this range I have Samson MLX for jib halyard and Cousin Dyneestar for main. Comparing the two I prefer the Cousin product, have not compared

Re: Stus-List new haylards

Tom, The first time I redid the rigging I used Sta-Set X which was great in terms of low stretch but I/we just didn’t like the “hand”. It was just a bit too stiff. I’m assuming Sta-Set should be a bit easier to handle. I’m going with VPC halyards and Sta-Set control lines on the new rig.

Re: Stus-List new haylards

Tom, I replaced all of my halyards with New England VPC. It is a blended rope with a dacron cover and a vectran core and the cost is only slightly higher than Sta-Set. The advantage is that you get a low stretch halyard that has very little creep(elongation over time). James Delaney C 38

Re: Stus-List new haylards

Stay set should be fine for your purposes. It is low stretch Dacron and much less expensive than the Dyneema I'd recommend if you were racing. Andy C 40 Peregrine Andrew Burton 61 W Narragansett Newport, RI USA02840 http://sites.google.com/site/andrewburtonyachtservices/ +401 965-5260 >
