I haven’t had a problem in over 20 years – but my sheaves were not damaged.

You could add a cover to the end of the halyard.

I have several all rope halyards that were given to me and have sat inside my shed for years. I used the old wire halyard to pull one through and my original thought was to get another one made. This does raise an obvious question – why not just use the rope? My fear is that since the sail usually only comes down once a year if that, the rope will get chewed through on the masthead shiv. Is this an issue?
