Running Main Halyard to the cockpit
« on: October 18, 2025, 11:27:17 PM »
If anyone has a few moments I would mind seeing pictures of how you run your main halyard to the cockpit.  Hoping to get rid on the ball/hook on the mast.

Thanks, Mike

One nice think about the ball and hook is that you know you are at full height and it doesn't stretch with the wire.

Others have gone to a dyneema setup with a clutch or other cleat on the mast.  The carbon masts are setup this way.
