I’d like to replace the main sail halyard on my Montgomery 15. The cable has some frays and the attached line is a bit worn. Also, a few years ago I replaced the mast due to damage when a pickup rear ended the boat, and I have had occasional issues with the current halyard jamming at the mast head (which may be related to the new masthead confirmation).
To address these issues, I think I would like to replace the halyard with some sort of no- or low-stretch line, but am not familiar with line types available and don’t really even know what diameter would be appropriate and how to best rig the sail end of the line.
I bet some on this list have been through this process and I’d be very interested to hear what worked and didn’t from those. And I would also be interested for any suggestions on how to accomplish this project and what materials to use and where to source them from those that maybe haven’t done it but have good thoughts on the topic.
Thanks in advance!

David:
Get 1/4" low-stretch double-braid line. Lots of options and you basically get what you pay for. Duckworks, Defender, Fisheries, local chandelier, or ... West Marine.
There is no reason to use rope-to-wire halyards these days. That set-up is what was done before low-stretch line became available.
Confirm the condition of the masthead sheeves before running the new line. Make sure the wire hasn't damaged anything = created burs that will rip up your new halyard.

Are any Montgomery boats in the race to Alaska?
