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.

Escaping Agros' relentless winds after enduring 52 knots! The anchor barely held as the Meltem winds hammered the island. Next stop: the slightly more sheltered bay of Arkiros, 35 nautical miles away. Will it offer true protection? #sailingadventures #greekislands #boatlife

The Excess 14 is the perfect balance: compact enough for two, and truly manageable under sail. Its low boom makes handling easy and enjoyable. #excess14 #catamaranlife #sailinglifestyle #seeksensations #excesscatamarans
