Hi John I would be worried about the pin halyard getting tangled with the jib halyard due to gybing, etc ...
Our most often used spin halyard is on the port side as well. On windy days you can just brace your back against leeward shrouds while jumping the halyard. It has not been a problem. For stbd roundings we usually opt for the stbd spin halyard which would then be in the same situation Mike Hoyt Persistence Halifax, NS -----Original Message----- From: John Heaton via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Sent: May 7, 2021 11:54 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: John Heaton <turnhamgreenconsult...@gmail.com> Subject: Stus-List C&C29 Mk2 - swapping jib / spinnaker halyard Hi folks - on my C&C 29 Mk2 the jib halyard comes out on the std side of the mast and the spinnaker on the port side and I want to reverse them to make it easier to "jump" the spinnaker halyard. Anyone else done this - I noted the spin halyard exits the mast higher than the jib halyard, so I will probably do this in the fall when the mast has been dropped? thanks CAN363 Double on the Rocks Toronto Thanks to all of the subscribers that contributed to the list to help with the costs involved.
