i have had this rope on the boat for 2 seasons and in general it has stood up well. in this off season my rigger end for ended my halyards made of this material and found the rope where it turned around the sheave at the masthead at least was breaking down, almost turning to dust. i dont think its the sheave as hall spars told me the existing sheave was ok for the application (8mm rope). has anyone had similar experience with this stuff? so far yale wont respond to my request for info Received on Tue Mar 23 18:29:29 1999
