[Alberg30] Mainsail halyard

[Dave Terrell]

did you use the same sheave or did you make a change?

Peter,
  When I bought my A30, one of the first things I did was to change from a wire/rope main halyard to an all rope 3/8" halyard. It fit fine and I used it for the six (or so) years I owned her with no problems. The current owner is still using the same halyard and hasn't mentioned any concerns to me.
Regards,

I see from the Maintenance site that the standard sheave can take a 3/8" halyard.Is there space in the housing above the sheave for this size line?If the space is tight could it be increased by careful use of a grinding stone on a Dremmel? Is 3/8" an O.K. size for a mainsail halyard?
