     If your halyard runs freely now,  replace it with the same size line.  Too big a line will cause the halyard not to run through the block freely.  Too small a line is hard on the hands.
     Also I have had my catboat for about 5 years and everything that I did that was not traditional looking  I have ended up re-doing it or regreting it.

  I am contemplating replacing the halyard on my HA 18, but not positive what size line it is.  Can someone help me out on that?   Also, should I stay with the 3 strand dacron to maintain the "traditional" look or am I better off switching to braid?  Are there any particular tricks to remembering how the rigging runs?
