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.

S/V Smile is a 2015 Bali 4.5 Owner’s Version, for sale by owner. Smile is one of the first batch of 20 built by Catana, with its top quality process. The Bali 4.5 is a catamaran with an “Open-Space” feeling throughout. To achieve this, the trampolines were removed, the forward cockpit was lengthened to add a seating area and sunbathing area, and large vertical-sliding windows were added between the salon and forward cockpit, with huge sliding doors onto the aft cockpit. New solar panels, sails, running rigging, washing machine, and more in 2022! S/V Smile is in stunning condition, fully equipped for living aboard, and ready to go!  https://www.catamaransite.com/catamarans-for-sale/catana-bali-4-5/

Scuba tank storage on Hull #10 "Umbono". There is storage for three 40 cu ft tanks directly beneath the helm seat. The rack is made using a custom fiberglass mold made in the Vision Factory. We are planning in placing four tanks in one of the large storage areas beneath the cockpit seating that is just forward of the davit.

Hello, Thailand! Stop two in our Asia travel is the town of Chiang Mai. Our hosts are the nicest people we have met. We walked from the airport to our guest house, to save a few dollars, so we could have scorpions for dinner. Not really, we ate more edible things. Tune in again tomorrow. And subscribe, it’s free. Thank you
