http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28. "My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton. My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell. So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

With a race looming next Saturday I just found out my forestay was in dire need of replacement and quickly dropped the mast to fix it.
Now my head is swimming with other things to do to the rig while it is down and switching the jib and main halyard sheaves from wire to rope is high on the list.
If I swap those out to rope, but keep my wire halyards for the time being what will happen? Would the wire ones immediately damage the rope sheaves? Will wire on rope sheave be functional at all?
I'm about to replace the mast step fiberglass and don't have the funds to do that AND switch to rope halyards at the moment. I just loathe taking the rig down so this is a perfect time to swap out those sheaves.
Thanks for any feedback.
Bryan
