Lay the mast on saw horses and get some plastic pipe long enough to attach a hook and pull the damn stuff out. On a 35 year old boat it was flaking apart and making a mess, plus not doing much to quiet the wires in the mast.

Our old 29-2 and our current 35-3 both have some sort of foam in the mast above the top halyard exit plate. I was really lucky that I pulled a bundle of new wires through the foam on the 29, it was really touch and go as to whether my connections were up to the job. I have no idea how you would get a new halyard down if you lost it completely, there's no way you could get a bicycle chain through the foam just with gravity. So, has anyone figured out an answer? One that preferably worked in the real world... Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC
