Does this site have sails on cordage annually? When do sales typically occur (here or elsewhere?) I will be replacing some halyards this year. The C&C 30 came with wire to rope halyards. All Sheaves and clutches are suitable for eliminating the wire.

Thanks @Dave Groshong. Been doing some research, and it APPEARS the boat has Spinlock XA clutches, which should be good for 6-12mm line. I measured current halyards at 1/2", with 0.155" wire, so do not have the 4-8mm clutches. Of course Spinlock specs may have changed since '88, but I would like to go down to 10mm (3/8") line. Also all three look to be 92ft (16.5 arm lengths) Can you message me the cost of WarpspeedII, and MLX3? Three separate 92-95ft lengths of different colors. Sheaves appear fine for all rope service. Lastly, I still need to look at fittings, but plan to splice my own. Any recommendations based on splicing? (recalling days of trying to splice sta-set-x)

*UPDATE*
Thanks for the chat and lines Dave. After a few minutes on the phone talking about merits of line, and checking pricing, Dave got me a GREAT DEAL on some line. Went with Samson MLX3 for the halyards: Main, Jib and Spinnaker. The boat was decommissioned for a spin pole, opting instead for an asym kite with a tack line on a tacker. so only the 3 halyards, no topping lift. For those looking for more line: it is at ~600ft for a spool that there is option for price break.
