Then the other one would be used for a foredeck sail swap while the spinnaker is up? Also, would the second sail be raised on the furler as well? Why is there two different halyards for the spinnaker anyway?

You can also use 1 to do a head sail swap …. Foredeck crew needs to be sharp and keep track of the halyards so they don’t get crossed.      Get Outlook for iOS From: Languid Refiner via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2025 4:36:22 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Languid Refiner <atropho...@gmail.com> Subject: Stus-List 37R Mast Project   Hi Everyone,   We are currently trying to assemble the mast (My son Oden and myself), but we are not exactly sure where everything goes and what everything is for, lol. A lot was disassembled when the boat was trucked from Buffalo and we are familiarizing ourselves with this rig.  I have three lines coming out of the top of my mast facing the bow, and I was wondering if anyone knows what they are all for? The one in the middle is for the jib halyard, but I am not sure about the other two. Spinnaker? I am also wondering about the spinnaker setup for this mast. Is there supposed to be a block at the top of the mast for the spinnaker? And does the spinnaker halyard run on the outside of the mast, or does it go through the inside?   I can get more photos too and we're back at the boat now.  Thanks in advance for any help,   Noah and Oden Your contributions help pay the fees associated with this list and help to keep it active.  Please help by making a small contribution using PayPal at:  https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/stumurray  All contributions are greatly appreciated.
