Jib Halyard Suggestions

[Chuck Healey]

Does anyone know the length and diameter of the 26X jib halyard and sugestions on a inexpensive replacement? I don't want anything too high tech, because I only use it for mast raising and when I use the spinniker a few times a year.

Try Bill @ Boats for sail. He has it on his hard drive. (Written on the shop wall in crayon) I got my halyards from him.

Heres a link to his e-mail

The 26X Jib Halyard was 50' x 5/16".
For Halyards aft to the cockpit, I used the 26X Main Halyard (60' x 5/16") for the Jib Halyard and a longer Main Halyard.
If your halyard is not in too bad shape, try switching it end for end, so any wear points are on the other end.
