Post subject:  Main Halyard installation
Hello,

My main halyard snapped on me :(

Not sure how to install a new one, should I remove the top cap? is there an easy way to run the new halyard though the mast.

I have searched on the web and all I can find is replacement of a current old halyard but not installing one.

Thank you in advance for your time,
Gilbert

You can run the line through the top pulley pretty easily - it may take a little twisting/luck though. I was able to do it while getting eaten alive by horseflies a few weeks back. Once you run it down to the bottom of the mast you can remove that pulley and run it through.

Hope this helps.

/It may work differently on a comp-tip mast

Push up though the pulley and into the luff track... start top. Using a spike or long nail, poke / hook the line through the track opening and drag down the length of the mast. Pass through the lower pulley.
