All,

I have a regular main (not in-mast furling) and the halyard does wear where
it comes in contact with the rope clutch. Every few years I shorten the
halyard by about a foot, moving the wear point to a new location. I plan to
keep doing this until something catastrophic causes me to replace the
halyard. Since the wear is to the sheathing and the strength comes from the
core, this should work for many years.

Back in May 2006 I replaced the 3/8" halyards with the recommender 1/2"
halyards because of slippage and excessive wear.  Now only after 2 years I
am showing considerable wear on my main halyard.  

Is anyone else having this problem and did I recently see an e-mail
discussing this issue and that Garhauer has a fix for this issue?

Even though I use my boat often I don't believe the main halyard should wear
out this quickly.

Thanks
