I have a Parker 470, and I had to cut the halyard. What is the proper replacement for the halyard? I believe the original was wire, but it's long gone. The previous owner had rigged up some thin nylon line that was all but unbreakable. Unfortunately, it was also sheer hell on your hands when raising the main. I've also seen that the main halyard was likely rigged the same as the jib currently is, as a wire with a rope leader that's much more hand friendly. does this seem right?
Thanks.
Thanks.
