Fitted below a halyard box, the halyard lead prevents a spinnaker halyard, gennaker halyard, or Code 0 halyard from chafing against the edges of the box. It is also used to lead a jib halyard correctly from a furling system to the halyard box preventing halyard wrap.
Halyard leads are easily retrofitted to an existing mast. Selden single halyard leads are made from chromed bronze so that the relatively soft bronze will not damage a stainless steel wire halyard. Single models include an insulating plate. Seldon double halyard fittings are stainless steel. The fitting is lacquered on the inner surface to insulate it from the mast.
