SanFran 12 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 What is the process to get it repaired / replaced? The joint near the wire to braid is nearing its use-by date. Does a rigger come to the boat, or do I take the whole thing off, but run a dummy line through the blocks? Cheers. Nick Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 You could get rid of that orrible wire and go a nice new dyneema line all the way. All you nbeed to do is tie the new dyneema to the old wire and pull it up and over. Or you could pull the old one down with a light line as a mouse and bring it into KM and have him make up a new rope/wire halyard. Personally, I would go Dyneema. Much nicer.

Guest Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 NZ Rigging. Swing your eyes 100mm to your left right now. Bart can come to you or you to him. You to him is probably best with just a halyard. Run the mouse line 1st and all's good. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest mental outlook Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Don't forget the sheave at the masthead (and mast base for that matter), may not be suitable if you have had wire previously. Link to post Share on other sites
