Hi John,

The sheave you are describing is made with pheonlic material and it is the 
original material used by Whitby.

Andrew,
I replaced my sheave in the mid 1980's. My halyard kept jumping the sheave 
and getting jammed. I couldn't find a sheave the right size so I had one 
made at a local machine shop in Ft. Pearce, FL. I had the sheave made of 
aluminium. It worked for a while but eventually became frozen up. I can 
still raise the sail but I don't think the sheave is even turning. I 
remember that there was some kind of housing around the sheave that, if I am 
remembering right, I also had to replace. I think I used stainless steel. I 
remember that there were problems in assembling the whole thing. Could you 
explain to me what the housing around the sheave consists of? I found my old 
sheave today and measured it. It is about 6 5/8 " in diameter and about 1/2 
" thick. The hole is about 5/8" in diameter. The sheave is chewed up around 
the edges so the measurement could be off some. I don't remember if the hole 
had a bushing in it. It is not in it now. The sheave is made of a brown 
material that looks li
  ke wood but appears to actually be some kind of synthetic material and has 
a light pattern on the surface that looks sort of like cloth. Does this 
sound like the origional sheave. My boat is #15 and was built in 1965. I am 
planning to take my mast off soon and I want to replace the sheave and take 
care of that problem.
Any comments you or the group may have will be appreciated.
Thanks,
John  #15
