When you set up, milk the bias out of the rope by holding it between your fingers and letting it slip through, while going out to the ends-it will unscrew itself with a few repeats. If you do it right, you may get a rope burn. You will see and feel the rope untwisting itself. Also, with time the halyard gets a little more pliable and less prone to the bias introduced by the rope.
