so you skip the deck mounted pulley altogether? I just read this for the first time in another thread. Why is this better and what keeps the mast in place if you capsize?
To keep the mast attached to the hull during a capsize, simply lead the halyard (after tying off at the cleat) thru the bullseye and tie off at the deck cleat. Or you can go thru the eye, then over the gooseneck for a vang effect, back down thru the eye and then to the deck cleat.
Win ever.
