It's day 3 of stripping our head sails and clears, securing our fleet with over 5km of rope has been no easy task! Wishing everyone in the region a safe passage through this weather event, now to see which path TC Kirrily decides to take. #escapewithconfidence #whitsundayescape #thisisqueensland #whitsundaysqld #lovewhitsundays #adventure #weathernews #tropicalcyclone


On most boats it is important to have the head of the mainsail as close to the top of the mast as possible. Furthermore it must also be quick to attach and disconnect the main halyard, even with cold and wet fingers. So a shackle or a bowline are not the best solutions. The best is the method is the one shown in this video. The bobble is nice, but not strictly necessary. A double figure of 8 knot (figure of 16?) will do. The bobble or knot is never removed so you cannot lose the halyard through the mast. I usually shorten the main halyard a few cm/in at the start of each season to move the wear spots.
