Hope I'm not hijacking but my problem is not the actual hoisting of the square top but the Halyard Ring releasing after a day of sailing. I pull and tug on the halyard to lift the ring off the hook at the masthead while twisting and turning the mast but it is a struggle. When finally it releases I try to figure out what I did that time to make it work but it doesn't seem to be anything any different. It just worked that time. What is the trick!?!?!?!? Is there a better system? OR am I just destined to look like an idiot tugging on his halyard? I'm using the Murray Aussie Ring by the way. Thanks Greg
