Any suggestions to protect the halyard coming through the mast?
Thanks

What do you mean? It should go straight to a block then end up tieing to something like a clutch. No rubbing is involved.

I'm guessing you are asking about the possible chaffing of the halyards where they exit the mast.

On our 2005 model, the exit hole is simply a cut out in the mast, not a snazzy softsided plate assembly. However the exit hole is very well deburred and the lines exit and then head down to either a block on the mast base or to a cleat on the mast. So there's virtually no rubbing on the sides of the exit hole

If your lines are showing chaffing in that area, it might be time to replace them.
What year and model is your boat?

(welcome to the forum too!)

West and others have exit plates that make the surface smoother.

Don't know how it would fit on the C-250, but you could ask them. I think it's more for turning the line out to a deck organizer and back to the cockpit.
