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.

A modern racing yacht faces a colossal wave — the bow lifts nearly vertical as storm winds howl and water crashes over the deck. The crew hangs on in a true survival-at-sea moment. #MonstrousWave #ExtremeSailing #StormSailing #OceanPower #SailingShorts

Steering failure at sea is one of the most critical situations on a sailing boat. In this video, I explain what an emergency tiller is, where to find it, and how to use it properly when the main steering system fails. Every sailor and charter guest should know this before leaving the dock. ⚓ Sailing safety ⚓ Emergency steering ⚓ Boat handling tips Have you ever experienced a steering failure?
