To be honest, I did not notice. I may have wondered why boat speed or why
wind angle I expected could not be achieved.
I think backing up was more of an issue.
That big steel blade worked pretty well. Frankly couldn't say how long it
was like that. Somewhere between launch and haul out.

Some plates are attached to the axles, and some are not. If yours isn't
attached to the axle, you can drill a small hole in the mast, opposite the
axle, and tap the axle out. (loosen the tension on the halyard first, so
the sheave doesn't get pulled into the mast. Position the mast so the

2. Once that comes out, I should be able to see the sheave, but not sure
how to remove it. There is an aluminum plate on the side of the mast about

to the plate?
No, the axle probably isn't attached to the plate, but t

I spent some time with several projects yesterday and need some help/advice (as

1: I want to examine my genoa halyard sheave (and possible replace it) to see
