When removing the spinnaker topping lift line, I pulled it out from the bottom
of the mast. It got caught on the spreader support inside the mast. I needed to
attach a hook to the main halyard through the access port at deck level that
contained the halyard sheaves. I "fished" up the mast to ca
This one has my vote, as it happened several times when I was pulling my
halyards back in with the mast horizontal - the thin lines would jump the
sheave and get jammed. I suggest going aloft on a jib halyard to inspect.

We drop our masts every fall. One spring the main halyard was jammed when
raised. Going up the mast, we found the main halyard was off the sheave and
was jammed between the topping lift halyard sheave and the main halyard sheave.
It was pulled out of the jam and put back on the main halyard sh

What Jim said. It probably popped up over the sheave, & the skinny
messenger is jammed. Take a picture with somebody's telephoto lens, or go
up on the jib halyard.

It's possible it may have jumped a sheave at the masthead. Can you see what the

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 comes out of the mast, until it is snug. Don't tug too hard. Then
