There are three attachment techniques and two types of halyard terminations. We'll show you all of them and how best to work with them to install and remove halyards.
Agreed. I have seem new mast come in from the builder with 1mm leaders that seems like it would be likely to jump the sheave and get wedged between the sheave and housing. The 2mm we recommend is the smallest diameter we feel comfortable using and performs well.
Drop the tendency to mystify things. No need to use a specific "halyard leader". Just describe the type of line suitable for the job - well, just about what you did. Can you maybe produce an argument for the need for the line to be low stretch?
