It was clear the that main and genoa halyards were well past their prime. John helped me with replacing the main halyard and now I'm working on replacing the halyard for the genoa, which has given me the opportunity to strip the cover and put a transition in the line for the first time.The Center for Wooden Boats Thunderbird Regatta is this weekend and I'll be crewing on John's boat so I probably won't have the time to feed the new halyard back through the mast until Sunday afternoon. Once I pull it thorough I'll put a locking eye splice in the core end of the halyard and whip the bitter end.
