I am replacing the halyards on my MH40. I ordered the main halyard and topping lift from sailboatowners.com, but have not had time to run them yet. Since the spinnaker halyard does not require any eye splices, I bought a line according to the running rigging specifications chart in the owners manual. It specifies 121 feet of 12 mm line. I pulled that one through and with the shackle tied down at the base of the mast, there was barely enough line to take a couple turns on the closest (manual) winch. I measured the halyard I took off and it was 150 feet. I certainly don't need that much, but 121 feet is pretty sparse. I hope I don't have that problem with either of the other two lines I had made. Has anyone else had issues with this?
