[Alberg30] Main Halyard

[Villo Marmei]

Hi there....
You do not have to change the radius of the sheave on top of the 
mast....but you have to change the profile of the groove to accommodate the 
new rope. Grooves for steel cable and rope are different size....for the 
steel cable the groove is way narrower than for rope.
