David, Yes. The mast on my 37+ from Offshore Spars came with a conduit of sorts already installed. It was black poly tubing riveted to the forward inside face of the mast. During the mast rebuild the yard suggested upgrading to pvc since it would be a little more robust. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Ha

Halyard wraps are always caused by the angle of the halyard compared to the headstay. The mast head attachment for the headstay, the height of the sheaves compared to the attachment, the "J" length of your boat, and finally the full hoist height of your sail all contribute to whether or not you ex

Just an expression, Dave. Sorry to offend. I like most birds, including “flying rat” seagulls. I’m not wild about purple martins that rest on my masthead antenna while migrating through Presque Isle bay, or resident geese that crap on everything. For them, I need a bigger stone. From:

Re: Stus-List Halyard problem

I rarely say “never,” but never use a winch to bring in your furling line. Okay, almost never, but you better need it due to breezy conditions and not something hanging up. Also, my decision to use a long D shackle at the drum fitting instead of a halyard restrainer was due, in part, to the

Re: Stus-List Halyard problem

The luff of my headsail, procured by the PO, is roughly 5” short compared to the headstay and halyard wraps were common (usually at inopportune times). Rather than extending the sail attachment at the furler drum, I added a short length of 3/16” Spectra 12 strand rope to the head of the jib th

Re: Stus-List Halyard problem

Hi,  I installed my restrainer same time I installed my Harken Mark IV furler, according to documentation I needed one and it was my feeling as well ( looking at the angle I had on my 27 ).This is what Haren had to say about it : To be used if angle between halyard and headstay is less than 7°.

Re: Stus-List Halyard problem

I do not have a halyard restrainer but I do need one. It is in my chart table waiting to be put on. Having said that I generally do not use my roller furler as I primarily race the my boat. FYI, Harken recommends the following to prevent halyard wrap: 1. Halyard swivel should be within to

Re: Stus-List Halyard problem

Hi Divid, You've had the boat a while and the restrainer was probably suggested by the sailmaker and the sails cut to reflect that, so removing it may cause new problems. Is the halyard chafe new? When did it start? I would look for something that has changed recently. Has the restrainer be

Re: Stus-List Halyard problem

FYI, a related issue may be how close your upper furler assembly is to the top of the forestay. I was having all kinds of halyard wrapping problems and considered installing a halyard restrainer. As an interim step, I added a long D shackle between the tack of the sail and the drum fitting (de

Re: Stus-List Halyard problem

I have one--lots of previous wrap problems were attributed to my lack of one by various riggers, sailmakers. After a simple bale was added to serve as a restrainer (Harken restrainer was to large for the angle on my boat), I have had no problems with halyard wraps.  YMMV! Charlie NelsonWater Phan

Re: Stus-List Halyard problem

As Joe said, if the sail is at the right height, there will be no issues. I have a restrainer as my jib luff is about 10 inches too small, and I like to adjust where the jib sits on the forestay depending on if I’m racing (low) or cruising (high, with more visibility). All the best, Edd Edd

That is way too much pressure, and a cable will probably solve the problem.  One way to tell for sure is to go down into the bilge and move the lever by hand.  It really isn't that hard, and in fact, when I had an issue with the part at the wheel that broke, I got down into the starboard locker
