What diameter and length halyard are you using?
So I’ve got this new halyard I haven’t installed it yet and it mic’s out around 5 mm it’s really skinny in comparison to the old one that’s on the boat I bought. It’s a little bit hard on the hands without gloves.
I’m thinking I need a fatter one just like the one that’s on there, but it’s almost 3/8 of an inch it looks like the kind of cord that’s in window sashes with the old style window weights. It’s polyester doesn’t look like yacht braid, but maybe it’s well worn yacht braid.
