".....I don't race....."
And yet the first time I actually met you in person Bob you were sitting on Bruce Dempsey's boat after a race. (OK Bruce's current boat has probably raced a total of two times in last five years and in only fun races ....but ... ) For my friend Bob I would change that to "I no longer race" because there was a heck of a lot of racing before that for you and Dwight and others ......

And the way I use my main, I hardly doubt the chaffing would be any worst than the UV damage....probably not going to shorten the life of any halyard under these circumstances.

I would think if you stagger the Zip Ties (around the clock looking down on the wire) every 90 degrees, you would end up with your wires running down close to the middle and create 4 smaller channels for the halyards. That would reduce the amount of movement of the halyards. With you installation, have you found any abrasion on the halyards in your mast?

Once inside the mast the long zip tie "tails" press against the inner walls of the mast and they do help. I don't know what to do about halyards though. Hope that's helpful.
