(getting rid of wire halyards, going with 5/16" rope, also need to ditch the heinous "sheet stoppers")
Lewmar vs. Spinlock
Both offer a smaller & a larger way to handle 5/16" line sizes. In both cases we are advised in the catalogs to avoid the smaller selections as they are sized for boats up to 27'. However, for the small kites & spinnakers of the J/30, have any of you had success with the Lewmar D1 or the Spinlock XAS clutches ?
For the main halyard I am going with the larger option, probably going with Lewmar, as they are good clutches & have good pricing too.
Perhaps it would be a good idea just to go with the oversized option all the way around.
Appreciate your input if you have already "been here." Thanks.

Thanks for your reply on that. Your smaller lewmars were on your jib & spin, which are relatively small for a 30 footer, they didn't even work there ?
I was leaning toward the bigger one (XTS) for the main only, the smaller one (XAS) for the jibs & spin. This is key feeback. I appreciate it a lot.
Perhaps not ?
