In this latest conversation....you guys are calling the main "halyard" the
mainsheet.  Terminology is really important when in a discussion about a
sailboat.  When someone would say to "ease the mainsheet"...would you want
them to ease the halyard??  Don't think so.
And...as a sail rep for many years...Garhauer has been my go-to company for
hardware.  Best quality around and at a reasonable price.  Nothing better!!!

Thank you, Chuck, as always, your input is appreciated.  I have Garhaurer
coming to Hassle to inspect all the blocks and so on.  Mast and boom.  They
have done it before and updated significant stuff for me.  They are great to
deal with and my luck, local.

Larry and Max,

I replaced my mainsheet several years ago and I recall I went with 110 feet
of zero-stretch line.  I may be mistaken but the cordage listed in the
printout Max supplied is in line with what I bought.  Am I wrong?

Also, getting rid of the wire with all line reduced somewhat the "slap"
noise in the mast.

I also noticed when I changed my line out that the masthead sheave looked
very used.  And this year it has indeed seized (the sheave bearing hole is
badly worn).  There are two sheaves at the top of our mast (one for
mainsheet and one for topping lift).  I got rid of my topping lift line when
I installed a Garhaurer vang, securing the boom with the mainsheet as a
topping lift when not in use. I will move the mainsheet to the topping lift
sheave this spring.  Regardless of what you decide to do with the topping
lift, I suggest you run you new mainsheet through the topping lift sheave as
it gets so little use.

Finally, I would note that like Max, next time I will go with 7/16 as it is
a better fit for the sheave.

Regards,

Hi Larry, according to the specs it?s supposed to be 1/2?x80?, but  I think
I have 70?.  Next time I think I?ll go with 7/16?.  Is still easier on the
hands and will work better with  the main sheet bocks. Just my two cents.

Anyone happen to have the length for our main sheets?  I need to replace
mine and am reluctant to take it off to measure.  Getting it all back on
correctly in a pain in the you know what.  LOL Generally just link the new
to the old and pull it through but don?t want to come up short.  LOL
