Hi Scott,
We went back to wire & rope halyards for better reliability in the
stoppers (rope clutch). Even increasing the diameter at the stopper
interface improved but did not eliminate the occasional fail. Modern
cordage is wonderful but not necessary from a competitive advantage
unless you are consistently missing first place by a few seconds.
Crew improvement just with tacking can be minutes gained, yada yada.
Cheers, Russ

This fall one of my projects will be to replace worn out sheaves at
the base of the mast ,
Pull the upper pulley at the masthead and machine in a bronze
bushing. It still has wire to rope halyard and am either going to
replace with a new one or change out to all rope. My question is
what size has anyone used on a c&c 30 mki (1972). I know all rope is
the go to choice nowadays but I like the feel of the larger diameter
rope end of the wire to rope. Thanks in advance for any insight or
experience , Scott
