I'm getting my J/30 ready to start racing it in some offshore races out of Charleston and have a large list of necessary upgrades (expect lots of questions from me to come!).
New jib halyards are high on the list. I've read all the threads about sheave replacement, line shredding, burring, etc. and I am tempted to simply get new wire/rope halyards made just to save the hassle. I live 4 hours from the boat so I really need simple "order then install" solutions...
Has anyone skipped all the mess and simply gotten new wire/rope halyards? Any huge reasons I wouldn't want to take this route?
If so, anyone have a good source?
Thanks!
