[Public-list] Halyard Sheaves and Rope Halyard Question

[Jay Davenport]

About four years ago, when I switched from wire to 3/8" StaSet, I was worried about the splice jamming in the sheave slot. As a result, I had the sheave made slightly smaller in diameter, and I've never had a problem with jamming.

  My concer is that the splice would hang up in the slot for the sheave. But 
there is no way to tell until we try it. I might consider 5/16" super low 
stretch to reduce the size of the splice.

The first test sheave is in, and so far I have been told it looks to be
a perfect fit (I don't know if it has gone sailing yet). The second one
will (hopefully) go in this weekend.

I have received a lot of checks, which are sitting in a pile on my
dining room table. If anyone else plans on placing an order, please
send your check as soon as possible. I will probably place the final
order first thing next week, after I confirm the fit of the second test
sheave. I will send a list of all of the orders for which I have
received a check later this week.

I will probably switch to a rope halyard when I make the change to avoid
the problem that prompted this group buy. I am considering going with
New England Ropes Sta Set 3/8" line. I am trying to decide between an
eyespliced line with a captive headboard shackle and a bare end that
would be tied to the headboard. Does anyone have any thoughts on this
line, the sizing, or any issues with switching to rope?
