Hi all,
Managed to get through the season with no problems until my last race, once I got a new sheave and an new halyard. In the last race I noticed that the halyard had completely worn through the sheave. It was a nylon one, but the only one I could get at the time. I'm now looking to get an aluminium one made up, as it is an irregular size compared to the 'off the shelf units.
As far as technique goes, I think I have that sorted and it works easily as long as the gear is in good nick!

Cheers,

Hack.
