Yates Custom Rigging

We build new Wire to Rope Halyards and wire/rope Furling Lines using type 316 stainless wire and low stretch braid tails. We have wire sizes from 3/32 to 1/4 dia. and we stock rope in various tracer colours from 1/4 to 5/8. To speed up delivery we have a stock of pre-made halyards with longer tails to fit most standard boats with winches back on the cabin top.

We have some solid colours in 5/16 and 3/8 for tails on furling lines and smaller halyards. We can also do repairs like new tails on your own wire or make a splice using customer supplied material.

If you have a special requirement or a problem with your halyards we would be glad to advise. Many sailors have a problem with “meathooks” in halyard wire caused by the wire moving across stainless steel guides at the masthead or by riding across stainless wearbars at the exit boxes. The use of galvanized wire instead of stainless steel should be considered. Many sailors that have switched to hi-tect materials for halyards have once again replaced them with new wire to rope halyards like the originals because of durability and lower price. If you have trouble trying to find a replacement ROPE TO WIRE HALYARD for your boat we are still making new ones every day like we have done for nearly 50 Years.
