Spin Halyard Modification

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Currently my boat is rigged stock, with all halyards exiting the mast at the bottom.  I would like to re-run the spin halyard so that it exits on the side of the mast, 6 or so feet from the deck, so that the halyard can be "jumpped" from the mast.  I plan on cutting the hole, putting in a standard exit plate, and mounting a single cam cleat undertheath it.
I think this is a no brainer but if any body can think of anything I should watch out for I would apreciate it.

	Mine has been rigged that way since before I owned the boat. Your idea will work perfectly. Good luck, always fun cutting holes in boats above and below the waterline.
