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.

Satonda island is like no place else on earth and a special stop on our round-trip Bali to Komodo itinerary. This calm bay and fringing reef is the perfect spot to get your feet wet doing a check out dive, the island itself is unique, and the excursion offered is a fun easy way to view the lake hidden in the crater. A special show at sunset rounds out the visit to this one of a kind island.
