FWIW, I sent my OEM "veed for wire" sheaves to Zepherwerks and he made me new
sheaves for rope and new axles too. He called me and said the sheaves didn't
need replacing, but I chose to do it as I can't see doing all that work to put
old parts back in. He was very reasonable. Now is a good
Ok, thanks all - I’m convinced. Will replace the main halyard sheave anyway.
Will splurge on something super low friction, rather than replacing all 5.
Chuck S’s earlier email and its replies got me thinking about cumulative
friction and seemingly free-running blocks binding under load.

I think the wire groove is not helping any, but in looking at your
pictures, it looked pretty rough. I think a nice smooth sheave would go a
long ways.

Hi Adam
The masthead on mine is also welded completely, the axles for the
sheaves come out the sides. Assuming yours is the same, on the side
there will be a little stainless plate screwed onto the mast, get an
impact driver to use to get the screw out and then give the stainless
plate a
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

This is a timely post. How do you access the sheaves at the top
Dave,
We had garhauer make new sheaves for Perception. The 2 aft ones were fine with
their stock offerings, the 3 forward were a tad narrower, and I ended up
sending them one of our old ones to replicate the sizing. The old ones had
razor sharp edges from rubbing the mast head casting. Great
Do you believe that very shallow wire groove is wearing my halyard? I find it
hard to believe but what do I know... the sheaves are otherwise in good shape
since I rebushed them.

Sorry, a different situation, Mine's a breeze... unbolt the top and lift
out the entire axle, each end of which simply sits captive in a groove on
either side of the mast.

I was able to replace my jib masthead sheaves by sending them to Garhauer in
California. They made new ones and shipped them out. Perfect fit. I still
have wire-to-rope for my main halyard. That'll be next, as soon as I figure
out how to change the exit block at the mast base.
