2023.12.23 통영에서 출발해 제주도를 가기 위해 거문도로 향하는 중입니다. 세일의 펄럭임과 파도의 부딪힘이 만들어내는 소리들이 예술이네요. 이런 시간들로 인해 고단한 시간들이 잊혀지고 다시 힘을 얻고 나아갈 수 있는 것 같습니다. 모두 이런 자신만의 시간이 있기를 바래요.

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.
