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.

I have missed my friends 😍 8 DAYS until we are back on a boat!!! . . To answer the comments that are more than likely going to follow this video: Would I recommend you bringing a cooler of fish to filet at a public beach… NO… do I think it’s a good idea to filet fish off your boat (home) and then jump in to salt water shower… no.. What is the best solution to where to drop your fish carcass after you have done all the cleaning so you don’t attract sharks to the wrong place?? Probably out in the middle of the ocean, but that is not always practical. This is a known spot to clean your catch after a day of spearing, we were not the first and certainly will not be the last to drop a fish carcass off this beach. Do we LOVE sharks and think they are just to coolest? ABSOLUTELY that’s why we like to film them. Do we want to put people in harms way because of our actions? No, that is why we pick where we clean our fish very carefully and are aware of our surroundings. We do our best people. 🥰❤️#tulasendlesssummer #boatlife #sharks
