It's only used for furlers to make sure there is sufficient angle between the halyard and the forestay so the halyard doesn't get wrapped up too.
Our 30-2 which is wire to rope has a simple metal bracket holding the halyard to the mast to get sufficient angles, it seems less expensive then a full sheve or pulley. You may want to look for something like that. On Thu, Sep 6, 2018, 2:32 PM Gary Nylander via CnC-List, < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > My 1980 version doesn’t. Must be for a roller furler. > >
