Two additional comments that I did not see addressed: 1) especially for wire halyards, care should be taken to ensure that the halyard is not on the wrong side of the spreader bar inside the mast, as this could cut into the bar (probably a non-issue when the mast is up and you’re using gravity to lead the halyard); and 2) instead of a bent coat hanger, I keep two or three of those little claw devices on board. (Some even have lighted ends.) They come in handy for grabbing halyards inside masts, picking up screws dropped inside pedestals, etc.

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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
