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.

After a lengthy voyage at sea, La Galigo returns to Bali once a year for dry dock maintenance. We work on the entire boat, both inside and outside. This is the moment when we completely renovate our vessel! Our priority is to service all safety equipment and give the vessel a full hull out of water inspection. We also take this opportunity to freshen up the antifouling (applying protective paint to the bottom of the boat), followed by repainting the whole boat. Additionally, we service the engine and ensure that the deck and all cabins are immaculate. Our goal is to provide visitors with the finest experience while on board, which requires a ship that is stylish, safe, and pleasant. 🔗 Click the link below! 🌐 https://linktr.ee/lagaligo_liveaboard ✉️ info@LaGaligoLiveaboard.com 💬 +62 812 2000 2025 (WhatsApp) 🌐 www.LaGaligoLiveaboard.com 🌐 Trip.LaGaligoLiveaboard.com (Schedule & Rates) ~~~~ #ScubaDiving #Scuba #Diving #Diver #Liveaboard #DiveTrips #LaGaligoLiveaboard #Drydock
