Sorry to hijack this thread. I was just wondering since you have changed the sheave for your halyard. I just unmasted my boat and from what i can tell the sheave for the halyard does not move. Im fairly sure this is a stupid question but here it is: it should move right?
Thanks Vince, ill do that prob this weekend, will take the stainless plate out and look inside, ill take pictures so you guys can see. Hopefully it will be easy to instal the sheeve in the back if there is not one.
Thanks again. Wee i just uploaded more pics. The problem is that is not at all smooth from the inside in the plate that has the two holes on top of the forestay. I will propably have to remove that plate and get a wheel inside there.
Thanks a lot ProAtc it’s very helpful what is strange is that the mast has the same form as yours but it’s divided where it should have the exit of the spy haly in yours it has a Litle wheel.
Exactly that is why i climbed the mas to see what was happening. If you have any pictures from the original masts to see if maybe i can fix it it would be of much help.
Thanks
Thanks Vince for your answer! This boat was owned by a French sailor that did a world tour by his own and changed many things. So its probably something made later. There is nothing behind it, that's why i have the spy halyard next to the gib one underneath the headstay, but I'm getting friction...
Does any one have a picture of how the halyards are suppose to be organized on the top of the mast.
I tried rearranging in my boat but cant figure it out. If i pass the spy halyard through the top holes i think the friction will end up breaking the line.
Here is a pic of what I'm talking...
Hi Mary can you share the advice given, I have a similar problem in the J24 i dont think the halyards are coming out from where they are suppose to.
Cheers
