Last year, I was thinking of replacing my halyard with all rope
halyard. However, after a fairly lengthy discussion with sailmaker and
rigger,
I decided to replace with wire rope. I wasn't that keen in replacing
the sheeve at the masthead, and my rigger successfully argued that
the wire rope halyard had served it's purpose well for the last 30
years...(not sure if was original) so why not replace it with the same.
That statement probably cost him a fair bit of profit as all rope
halyard would have been more expensive, but I respect him for giving
an honest answer.

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
