Halyard size

Bob,

Really appreciate the reply.

Thanks!

I agree with Bob's numbers. But I have to weigh in in agreement and suggest staying away from wire-rope halyards. With modern synthetics there is no good reason to use them. They are more expensive, weigh more, are prone to meethooking, and if you have the wrong shives in the mast can destroy a lot of gear.
