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.

#originally designed to be an efficient and consistently dependable workhorse during her past life as an all-purpose servant to the busy port of Genoa, CAPOTESTA has proven the perfect subject for her tug-fanatic owner to convert to a comfortable and fun, owner-driven #motor #cruiser for #family #holidays. CAPOTESTA’s always beautifully maintained Deutz 8-cylinder slow-revving #engine, and almost 7 m beam on a #waterline length of about 20 m, present an #economic, stable and spacious platform for long distance cruises at 8–10 knots, and bursts at 13 knots when needed. CAPOTESTA’s accommodation offers four en-suite double #cabins with presently unfitted-out space for more - guests or #crew - while her relatively untouched deck spaces nicely don’t deny her past, and suggest a possible role as a race #yacht #mothership.
