I tried some no stretch line but found that the masthead sheave did not have enough clearance for anything other than wire. That cost me a couple days sailing as I had already cut the wire halyard. Eventually I rigged a spare block at the masthead but the solution is temporary at best. I'll do some measurements and get back to you.

Yes, I certainly can, but it would be best if you could give me the length. I've been getting requests for information on the new no-stretch line and I'm thinking about buying a role. Would you have any interest in that. Offhand, the cost would probably be less, and no splice in it. It would also be very good for jib halyards. Jerry jerrymontgomery.org

Jerry,
Do you make up wire/rope halyards for M-15's?
I stupidly cut mine last year and need a replacement.
Thanks,
