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
