I did a group buy for masthead sheaves for an owners group of Alberg 30s years
ago from Zephyrwerks. Absolutely first rate product, good price, and great guy
to work with.

I got some sheeves for the girlfriends boat from zypher works. He is a one man
shop working out of his barn. Needed 4 sheeves. Was told to go get lunch, when
I got back they were done and mounted into the mast head fitting. Converted
from wire rope to 3/8 line.

Get your sheaves from www.zephyrwerks.com. I have one which I removed from my
old mast. It's in very good condition. 3 1/4"d X 1/2" X 1/2" pin diameter. $35
plus postage.

My all-rope main halyard is wearing somewhat after 4 seasons or so, and I
should probably replace it.. It is often stated that when transitioning from
wire/rope to all rope halyards, that sheaves must be replaced with an
appropriate type, presumably without any wire groove. The main halyard is the
widest of all of the 5 lines that pass over these sheaves, and is as large an
OD as the sheave can accommodate. It is also the most often used, and when at
the dock is attached to the end of the boom, so it is subject to chafe than the
others, even in repose.Is the wear I'm seeing a result of this shallow groove
in the sheave, the diameter of the halyard, or is it simply normal wear under
the circumstances? If I should replace the sheave, can anyone suggest a source
and type?pics here:
