Hi Bruce

I just had a halyard repaired due to chafe (just inside the mast approx. 4 
inches before sheave).  When I received it back from rigging shop was a very 
small eye on the cockpit end.  It went easily through the clutch when I re-ran 
it

Hi Dennis,

I have noticed this comment of yours before, and have a question.  If your 
halyards have an eye on each end, how do you get them through the clutches?

Just curious,

Also, while we're on the subject of halyard damage, this is EXACTLY why I buy 
extra length on my halyards (and sheets).  Damage to running rigging is more 
than likely going to happen near an end.  If you bought extra line, all you 
need do is to cut off the damaged part and end for end the line.

I even buy my halyards and sheets with an eye on EACH end.  For Touche's 
sheets, it's no big deal because I use soft shackles and the ends are then 
interchangeable.

For halyards, it's a bit more complicated.  The first version gets a "D" bail 
snap shackle.  If I need to end for end it, the second version must use a screw 
pin snap shackle.

In the long run, I think it saves money and effort.

I have a buddy who NEVER does this.  Always buys halyards to exact length 
needed.  He's had to buy an entire halyard more than once over the years.
