| Post subject: | wire halyard question |
I've had several Hobies with comp tip masts and rope halyards. My current boat has an aluminum mast with a wire halyard. Why are there two slugs on my wire halyard? Is the lower one (farthest from the mainsail shackle) supposed to slide inside the sail track? If so, why? I usually try to tie my halyard away from the mast when not in use so the neighbors don't have to hear it slapping all night. This is a problem when the lower slug runs itself inside the sail track. |

It is used for reefing the main sail. Yes they should both be in the track. As for the clanking, wrap the jib halyard around it and cleat it off. |
