Antal makes something called a halyard slider system that consists of a car with a hook on it that runs on a mast mounted track. You splice a loop in the end of the halyard. And pull the jib up with a light tail and then disconnect the tail. No messy halyard to coil at all. I'm installing it on my boat for the furling headsail. That halyard never gets touched once the sail is up anyway. http://www.antal.it/eng/622-422_en A friend and occasional crewmember is the antal guy in the US. I will put you in touch if you like.
