Hi Mike,
Length is ok, but diameter is too big. Normaly Hanse installed a 12mm sheet. I am using a 10mm Dyneema Sheet since three Years. The Friction is much lower 👍😉 |

Hi
I agree with you, 14 is to big but is what comes in my boat, if you reduces now first see if the clutches are ok to work with smaller size. I do that in main halyard and the interior of Spinlock is to damage. Attention if the rope cover is tecknora you may need change the spinlock interior for a ceramic one to grip well. |

Hi Antonio,
I am using different kind of Sheets and Halyards in other diameters than original since 2011. Never had an Issue on that side. In 2012 I change the Standard self tacking Genua into a EPEX Version. Here you get more load on the Halyard and I am using since 2015 a 2:1 Halyard in 8mm Dyneema. Protected in the Clutch area with a Cover. So no Problem since than...:-)
