Posts: 586 Hobart, Tasmania, Oz. | Hi everyone
Im about to replace the jib halyard on the capricorn, I would like to use dyneema but i am concerned about the stretch as my halyard is not adjustable on water.
are there many peeps using dyneema over wire now?

the last owner of your boat was a know nothing layabout. Whatever you do change all his systems and rope selections etc. | | | Re: Dyneema jib halyard

There are some realy good setups on this boat that I havnt seen anywhere else.
I have made some changes, done a bucket load of maintenace (all standing rigging, diamonds, all shock cord, new sheets..) mostly so the boat is easier to deal with on a week to week basis.
The forestay is being replaced today, the furler is coming out as the jib doesnt furl anyway. The choice between a rope or wire jib halyard determins the type of pulley that will be swaged onto the forestay.
Im sticking with wire.

Posts: 9 | Hi there, I would like to replace the jib halyard on my Nacra Infusion mk II. What line are recommending for the halyard? Should I use Dacron or some other material, such as Vectran? Here's the Nacra's manual how to replace the halyard -> http://goo.gl/ohNDxi . Thanks in advance. | | | Re: Dyneema jib halyard

Posts: 586 Hobart, Tasmania, Oz. | What a fortune teller you turned out to be Scarecrow. by the time I had finished it was virtually identical in setup to the C2, so when i made the move to a new boat, everything was the just the same but faster/easier to sail.
Juha, any old piece of string will do for a nacra halyard. If you have the stock hook/ring arrangement then there is no load on the halyard at all.
