I used to leave my spin halyard on the mast, rigged up and ready to raise as soon as I got to where I was going but I ruined one halyard when it got lose half way up the mast and chafed on the spreader-mast connection fitting while I was going down the highway. That was the only rough edge in the area and it nearly wore all the way through the halyard. Be sure to tie it up tightly or put some tape around the mast-halyard to hold it in place if you are going to trailer with it rigged. Then be sure to take the tape off before you step the mast...not that I've ever done that. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
