Sorry - the mast on an FX one is not tapered. On top of the mast is a aluminum plate welded in place. There is a hole, approx 1/4", in the plate. The head plate is fastened to the sail, there is a hook at the front of the head plate. The hoisting halyard is tied to the head plate with the halyard going from port to starboard ( this is important) . When the main is hoisted, the hook is higher than the top of the mast, the rotor is then turned clockwise and the hook supposedly drops into the hole and anchors the main. I hope that clarifies my problem.
