We still have a wired main halyard on this boat? I was going to take a trip up the mast in the boson chair but couldnt make myself do it. I always tie a loop in a halyard and clip a locking beiner to it and then the chair. Made me nervous...

X2...just replace my halyards, Genoa was a rope-wire model from the olden days. Replaced the sheaves with new ball bearing style from CD, works great and makes much less noise when the wind blows them against the mast!

Unless the wire has been replaced recently, I wouldn't send anyone up on it.

The problem with using a bosun's chair on a wire halyard, is that the wire, with the weight of the person, will eat through the masthead sheave.
