That happened to me once. It turned out the wind instrument cable was getting pulled into the sheave. Pull the halyard up or down to the point where it's loose. Then try pulling the wind instrument cable down, from where it comes out of the mast, until it is snug. Don't tug too hard. Then try the halyard again. If that doesn't work, you might have to go up the mast and look at it closely. If it does work, you still might have to go up the mast, and inspect the wind instrument cable. Mine got stripped, and I ended up soldering the individual wires and heat shrinking insulation around them. Not an easy job while swinging from the top of the mast.
