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 sea day on the Disney Wonder sailing from Vancouver to Hawaii is the kind of cruise day people dream about—lounging on the pool deck, soaking in the ocean views, and watching Movies at Sea with that perfect Disney touch. Relaxing, fun, and just a little magical.
