Paul and I made our maiden voyage on the Kwyjiboat yesterday. My first time on a cat as well as a wire. 12-18 TWS. It was a blast. No regrets. Relatively few things blew up...

However - after spending altogether too much time holding the boat in the 45 degree water while trying to lock the main halyard - we finally pulled it over and locked it by hand.

Wondering if anyone has some advise on this system. Unlike the one in the Nacra manual - ours has a swiveling hook (perhaps a standard now?). We had the knot forward and everything was run properly. I did notice that the head of the main was probably interfering with the swivel and perhaps pushing it aside at just the wrong moment.

Does the size of the knot matter? The diameter of the halyard? Our ring seems just slightly twisted so I will replace that. Anything else?

Cheers,
Karl
