Re: Stus-List A halyard mess

Andrew, I think it is a great idea, but I cannot see how that would work. Do you attach the end of the halyard to the car on the rail? Jeremy, I backtrack the jib halyard back to the mast and hang the bitter end (coiled) on the halyard, just below where it exists the mast (with a prusik knot).

Re: Stus-List A halyard mess

Antal makes something called a halyard slider system that consists of a car with a hook on it that runs on a mast mounted track. You splice a loop in the end of the halyard. And pull the jib up with a light tail and then disconnect the tail. No messy halyard to coil at all. I'm installing it on
