I finally upgraded from a Hobie 16 to Taipan with self tacker & SPI
Tha main has no halyard just a ring on the head that locks on a hook. I have no problem gettig the main up the track except for the last 4-5" and then getting it locked The ring is held vertical with some bungee

Any tips on using this system ?

Or should I just put a halyard on .. If so how?
