does anyone know the name of the small wheel at the top of a sock to prevent tangling with top of the genoa halyard? No, I cant find a picture. about 5 or 6 inch diameter.

Not understanding the problem. Is your spinnaker halyard swiveling block rigged ahead of the forestay? How would it tangle with the halyard? I would think the hoop/funnel at the mouth of the sock would keep the bundle off the forestay.

Are ypu referring to a halyard ball stopper to protect your eye-splice, masthead exit and shackle chafing against each other? These are ~1" outside diameter with inner hole sized ti fit your halyard snugly,

It is a spinnaker shackle guard for which I was looking and as always I appreciate the great assistance from you all.
