Re: Stus-List Lost halyard

Sam I did have a similar issue myself. I found that by taking a 1ft piece of 3/8ths twisted Cable to feed it in over the sheaves to begin the process at the top of the mast attached to a drop line works best. The twisted cable acted as the weight. On my 35 I was able to take out the bottom pulley system from the mast and then fish out the line as it passed down by the opening.

Boat is currently on the hard. I'm sure I'm not the first to make this mistake. Has anyone had luck just dropping a weighted messenger line down from the top of the mast with the rig up or am I going to have to drop the rig? All responses appreciated.  _______________________________________________ CnC-List mailing list CnC-List@cnc-list.com http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
