Hi Jay, the original halyard diameter for the C38 ( according to the check list from Catalina that is now available on the C38 web) is 3/8", so if you have 1/2' and hasn't been any changes on your running rigging hardware, you shouldn't be having any problems by using a smaller diameter line. Another story is the rope clutches... What are you using? Garhauer was the original clutches on a 1984 C38 that I have seen, and one was using 7/16"......

Good Day All,

 

The outer cover of our main halyard parted last weekend near the rope clutch and given it's age I am going to replace the main halyard.  I'd like to replace with a 7/16" Stay Set X halyard as I believe the masthead sheeve will accommodate it, but was wondering about the current rope clutch at the halyard winch.  I believe the current halyard is ½" double braid and was wondering if anyone has experience with 7/16" line in that clutch?  It will save considerable time and effort if I can do a simple replacement.  Thanks!
