I went with 11mm VPC for my 30 because it was on sale for 40% off at West for
one day. Would have gone with 10mm if given a choice, but the savings in the
pocketbook offset the few ounces of additional weight. By the way, it works
great in the clutches and I have fewer complaints from the crew.

I use 3/8 StaSet X or X Plus for my 35.

7/16 would be overkill for a 30. That's what I have on my 35 with the
original sheaves.

Jeffrey,
Not sure I agree with your conclusions. 7x19 SS wire isn’t what I would
call cheap, plus you would pay for a rigger to do a wire to rope splice plus an
eye splice. A hybrid high tech line like New Englands “VPC” is much less
expensive ($1.79/ft for 7/16” at defender) and it only would need an eye splice
at one end. As for replacing the sheeves, may of us on the list have had no
problems running all-rope halyards over the original sheeves.

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
