Code zero halyard problems

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello all,
Yesterday, we completed a 3.5 day passage with conditions at the limits of code zero. This meant, we had stronger winds (up to TWS&AWS 15 knts), and we used our code zero roughly for 50 hours with breaks in between. This, together with the lack of 2:1 purchase system, created extreme chafe on the halyard. Luckily we arrived before the sail came down. 

I wanted to share this to warn people if they have the same setup, and also ask for practical solution ideas. I am not sure if Hanse, the dealer or some third party mounted it this way (we bought the boat second hand), but someone took a shortcut, and now converting it to a 2:1 will mean taking the mast down (due to the installation of the dead end bracket from Selden). 

Now the question is, what can I do to improve the situation until we are at home to take the mast down? Ideas are welcomed. Many thanks!

	Thank you! If I understand correctly through google translate, the trick is to have a dyneema sleeve (1mt) on top of a dyneema sheathed line, like this one: https://jimmygreen.com/anti-chafe-rope-protection/77938-marlow-dyneema-chafe-sleeve ?

	Oui,cette protection protège de l'abrasion due aux frottements .il faut quand-même regarder en tête de mât si le réa n est pas abîmé
