Just replaced the wire/line main halyard on my Cal 33 with all line. Went with New England VPC which is a "mid tech" line. The cover on the old halyard was in bad shape in several spots, so it was time. Never considered staying with wire/line.

Same here. Same boat. Replaced aging main and jib wire/rope halyards with VPC. Several years now, no regrets.
