An alternative is to mark the halyard itself aft of where it exits the line stopper. Using a permanent marker on the halyard [or "sewing" some whipping thread through the line] and then make a single mark on the cabintop, or just know the midpoint setting is when the mark is x" aft of the line stopper. Then when hoisting the sail you will know when to stop when the mark is that x". Easy to communicate to new crew as well.
From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Knecht via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, March 03, 2015 9:35 AM To: CnC CnC discussion list Subject: Stus-List Halyard guide I have seen pictures of numbered and marked strips attached to the cabin top underneath where halyards etc. run so that you can use the guide relative to a mark on the halyard to set the height/tension. Does anyone know a source of those strips or an easy way to create them? Thanks- Dave Aries 1990 C&C 34+ New London, CT
