Mike, can you tell where inside the mast the jam is located? On my mast, (1985
vintage) the top plate is bolted on and can be removed; if it s way down inside
the mast, then possibly remove the steaming light and see if you can access it
from there? Good luck!

At the end of the season our starboard spinnaker halyard parted 15 inches from
the snap shackle. At the time the halyard would not pull down through the
mast.
After unstepping the mast for the season I tried playing with the other spin
and jib halyards to see if this could nudge it loose. It did not.
The halyard is still just shy of full hoist and jammed inside the mast. The
other spin halyard and the jib and main halyards seem to be running freely
Any thoughts on how I can retrieve this halyard from the mast?
This is a standard white painted aluminum mast from the mid eighties. Think
C&C 33-2 mast
Thanks in advance
