- Installed Harken Need entry for 6320
for the genoa halyard. Ronstan RF41100 40mm single swivel block
has proven unsuitable in the past.
- Removed strap eye across the top of the entrance for the main halyard. Element block does not contact main halyard, particularly when the genoa halyard is tensioned.
- Possible to install a section of sheet metal, perhaps 1/16" thick(?), across the top section of the main halyard using the existing screwholes (8-24?).
-
- Takes between ten and fifteen minutes to climb the mast, about two to three feet per minute.
-
- Four wraps of the Beal Jammy
around the main halyard locks tight. Not possible to slide it down at all.
- Need to practice the transition from Guide mode to rappelling.
- Rappelled down using the ATC Guide on both the main and the spinnaker halyards.
