[C320-list] masthead sheaves and rollers

[Jeffrey Brown]

Jeff and others,
Thanks for the info. I called and left a voicemail at Sparcraft today, let’s see if they return my call. I’m wondering if anyone else has successfully replaced the rollers on the masthead, does it require a whole new entire masthead or are you able to dissemble and replace the rollers. Can this be done without dropping the mast? I’m pretty sure my rollers are shot, have tough time with the jib halyard and the chaffing on the line tells me there’s some problems going on up there.
