That's what I used, Patrick. I used 100' Stayset X with the paralay core size: 7/16 inch. I didn't splice the halyard shackle in – I used a halyard knot (like an inside out clove hitch). Works like a charm.

I was doing a search for halyard relacemnts in the forum and found this thread.I did a rough measure of my jib halyard by raising a tape up the furler (42' to the deck) and then measuring the tail of the existing wirerope halyard to be 52' from the splice to the bitter end. that comes out to be 94' or close enough to 100' to just call it 100' for me.
Just wanted to check if that sounded about right to all of you.
