What is halyard rope used for on boats?

Halyards are the most important part of the running rigging on board. If a halyard breaks at sea, not only could your sail drop, but there is the added risk that the broken rope could fall inside the mast! Running a new halyard in the mast is a terribly difficult task at sea, unless you have a messenger line ready in place. For this reason it is advisable to check all halyards regularly for damage. <a href="https://www.svb24.com/en/category/gleistein/rigging-boat-rope-boat-line-halyards-halliards.html#whatishalyardropeusedforonboats">Read more</a>

What kind of rope do you use for halyards?

Today's halyards are made of multi-layered material. A core, usually made of Dyneema, bears the main load and determines the central properties of the halyard rope. This core is protected by sheath layers made of a softer and particularly UV-resistant synthetic fibre. <a href="https://www.svb24.com/en/category/gleistein/rigging-boat-rope-boat-line-halyards-halliards.html#whatkindofropedoyouuseforhalyards">Read more</a>

How do you calculate the length of a halyard?

Not only does halyard length depend on mast height, but also the route the line takes on deck through blocks to the cleat and winch in the cockpit. A good rule of thumb for most boats is to calculate twice the mast height plus two thirds of the boat length. But don't be afraid to add extra length! <a href="https://www.svb24.com/en/category/gleistein/rigging-boat-rope-boat-line-halyards-halliards.html#howdoyoucalculatethelengthofahalyard">Read more</a>
