This is hopw we replace halyards on big boats without dropping the stick. Its never failed me. David www.powergroovesailing.com

I did this last year with not much trouble. I started at the top end and twisted the rope as I pushed in (as if you were screwing it in). I only had a little trouble getting through a section of the lower mast (around where the luff is inserted), but by helping it through with a very thin screwdriver it finally made it through. At the bottom,the area you are having trouble with, again I used the screw driver to poke the end of the rope and pull it out.
Good luck.

Have Fun

Posts: 829 Charleston, SC | Put a reaving splice into the rope and then just tie a small peice of line (read: little bitty) and then rerun the line through the mast. A reaving splice is incredibly simple, and I'm sure you can find instructions online. Or, just use duct tape...if you can't duck it, *&%$ it. Trey N20 314 Layline Rigging www.velocitysailing.com
