Gary, My aluminum sheaves were pretty rough and not really wide enough for all line. I switched them to a delrin sheave with a bronze bushing. Very smooth. Bill On Tue, Nov 8, 2011 at 3:28 PM, <GILASAILR@aol.com> wrote:

Bill,

Good idea - that old 'routine maintenance' thing coming up again - gotta look into that ! ;>)

I switched to all rope - put stopper ball at ends and use 'stopper knot/overhand knot' to attach haly to sail - freaks people out when they see how it works !

No hardware - light weight - imminently serviceable - gotta love it!

Have Fun,Go Sailing
