Halyard
Hi all,
Has anyone replaced the halyard for the main with all Dacron? Mine is half
stainless wire and half rope, which seems original based on the owners manual
for the Landfall. The rope part on mine is in bad shape, but the wire seems
good. Regardless, I'm thinking of replacing it all out with new rope.
Also, does anybody else have an Alado roller furling (alado.com). I know it's
an older model, cut seems in good shape. Just confused about how the halyards
feed through the top pulley piece. This top piece on most other sailboats
seems to slide down and up. Mine is stationary at the top and I know the
halyards are fed through properly...
Thanks,
