Reply to: Halyard replacement

[quote=texastuma]You can use Dyneema or something equivalent. For this boat, a bowline will be sufficient. I have used 7/64" tech-12 on my Prindle 19 with a large jib and never had an issue. One thing to check and consider are the blocks involved with the halyard. Take some toilet paper and rub the sheaves. You are looking for burrs or sharp points with the block. Many times a wire halyard will build grooves in the sheave and these grooves will tear up a synthetic line. Don't get too involved in the line type. If you are not racing then it really doesn't matter how high tech the line gets; it's just money... Keep it simple, keep it affordable.[/quote]
