<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>Although the "widowmaker" reel is not
generally considered ideal these days, jambing halyard sheaves is not among its
many vices. The problem is likely due to wear in either the sheave
or its cheeks which allows the wire to jump off. The cure is to replace
the sheave and have a close look at the slot in the mast through which the
halyard exits. If the aluminum is eaten away (it likely is), you
will have to rivet or screw bolster plates on both sides to act as guides.
Easy fix, I've done it on many yachts.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And no, you won't regret going to rope halyards
(and float-testing the reel winch).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Once again my main halyard has jumped out of the aft
sheave and wedged itself between the mast and the sheave. This is getting
ridiculous! What solutions have others devised for this problem. I think
one of the problems is that the halyard comes down the front fo the mast, goes
round a turning sheave, then through a fixed eye on the cabin top to a
reel halyard (widow maker) winch. Does anyone else have this arrangement? Was
this standard on early boats?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Will a rope sheave fit in the mast head? I am
considering going all rope. Maryland Marina, who has a good rigger, is
recommending replacing the sheave since the bearings are probably shot and out
of round and the sheave apears scored (looking at it with binoculars), and
going to a wire/rope combination with a winch on the mast. They think all the
current turns contributes to causing the jumping out because the lay of the
wire is constantly being turned. I don't mind adding a winch as I like to
raise the halyard from the mast anyway and want to do away with that dangerous
and old reel halyard winch.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Any thoughts appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
