Hello - I am the proud owner of a new-to-me 1977 laser, and I'm also new to sailing. I discovered that the radial sail, which I want to use for learning as I'm only 105#, has a special "cage" that fits over the mast head and requires a halyard to raise the sail. I've successfully raised the sail and rigged the boat otherwise, but don't know where to tie the halyard as there's no cleat on the mast or deck for that purpose. Any thoughts or suggestions? Can I just drill a small cleat to the base of the mast and use that to tie the halyard? Thanks!!
