[C320-list] Halyard thickness query

[Graeme Clark]

I see from the manual that the nominal halyard thickness is 3/8 ins (length 115ft).

I’d place a bet that the halyard on my own C320 have been replaced with something thicker - possibly for ease of handling; or possibly they just look thicker having frayed a bit over the years!

Anyway I am about to start a rolling replacement program, (along with other lines and sheets) and am wondering on the best thickness to use. presumably the sheaves in the blocks are all designed for 3/8” so maybe best to stick with that, even if it is tougher on the hands!

Anyone have any thoughts; maybe you replaced yours recently too; what did you choose?

Thanks
