Here's pics of Touche' spinnaker halyard parking bracket. Halyard parked: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1l4zjGelVZFb6ovcoiTm1w8widYvuqKYz
Halyard free to drop chute: https://drive.google.com/open?id=12uMQiom3tJARYnkWPPhSPihdjNMxEYAG I think you can see how it works. Mast person hoists chute with an outboard pulling motion. Halyard "parks" in the cam cleat. Once the chute is up, the mast person can move to other tasks. The halyard remains "parked". Later, the pit person can then take the slack out of the halyard and give it a pull. The halyard pops out of the cam cleat into the "free" position. It is then ready to drop the chute. This assumes the boat has a cabin top rope clutch for the halyard. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
