Hi there,
might sound stupid (but OK, I'm a newbie :-) )

When the mast is stepped up, no sails set but main and jib
(wire) halyards are at the mast, how are those secured properly to the mast if not in use ???

Any "proper" procedure here so nobody immediately recognize my land lubber status ???

And if we are at it, where do you guys leave all these rope ends while sailing. ???

Thank you
