Jib Halyard Line (old wire halyard)
3/16' Halyard 20'


You only use the purchase for the last couple of feet of the halyard hoist.

Tie the halyard to the becket, then loop it through the becket block. When you raise the jib, pull the block down until you can reach it, pull the loop out from the block, hook it under the block on the mast, tighten and cleat off.
