Title: Halyard Repacement Suggestions
Post by: TJ on April 24, 2016, 08:17:53 PM
Getting ready to replace Main and Jib Halyard.  Boat came with 3/8" but specs recommends 5/16" Sta-Set.  Any suggestions?

Go with 3/8". I did for my 23. A bit better grip on the hand.

Thanks!  You just confirmed I made the right decision, at 70 my fingers tend to ache and cramp when folded for a while, ageing is a pain, but beats the alternative, and you do get to go sailing more often.

5/16" Sta-Set or 3/8"  either way but make sure it's Sta-Set because it will resist stretching.

Nothing like looking up while sailing and seeing the head of the sail had dropped 4 inches.
