I need help with ordering a new main sheet halyard. I have a Mark I, it is stored many hours from me so this forum is much easier than a drive. I have been looking to find a website to help with this information search. I have an old wire to rope halyard, my notes indicate it was 3/8" but I am unsure of the wire and the length OA and of Wire. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Here is a link to a website where they can advise you on halyard lengths. They sell replacement kits.

I looked at the site for cajun trading. It looks like I can order rope. or complete sets. I was hoping to find details of the wire/rope halyards. If anyone has the actual dimensions I would really appreciate some feedback. Thanks for your repsonse.

The main halyard for a Mark III, according to the manual, is 38' of 5/32" 7x19" wire (its 'I' measurement plus 1') joined to 40' of yacht braid (a non-critical measurement). That relationship (I+1') might work for your halyard.
What might be ideal is to make the wire a tad longer and rent or borrow a swaging tool to set the relationship between the splice and halyard shackle precisely where you want it.
Another option is to call South Shore (see links) and ask them to sell you an appropriately sized rope halyard sheave. Then you can do away with the wire and its complications entirely.

That is a great help. Thanks "I" plus 1' should do the job for the wire. I will inquire on going to all rope, as price for all us cheapsters is a factor. Why does it feel so goode to save a buck? I'M ALREADY SMILING
