Can I get an upgraded headboard shackle with Novabraid ARGUS Main Halyard with Pre-Spliced Shackle. ITEM #923162
No, these are pre-packaged. If you are handy, you can knock out the roll pin on the retaining bar and attach your own shackle.

Wondering what thickness to buy for halyard for main sail 3/8 or 7/16? Like the nova line with shackle and whipped end. Boat is a 1984 25.5’ hunter I use for racing. Mast is 34’
I have a 1987 C&C 30 and I purchased the 3/8” for the main, genoa, and spinnaker halyards. The novabraid is fantastic! You will not be disappointed.
