Reply to: Main halyard lock - easier set?

[quote=randii]figure out which way the ring needs to 'lean' to ease engagement. best done at the end of the mast with the mast tip conveniently lowered several feet off the deck. tilted the right way way, the ring will ride the ramp of the mast hook right up and drop into engagement. tilted the wrong way, you won’t hardly be able to get it to engage. It is counter-intuitive, but even if some of the twist passes out in the halyard as it turns over the mast-top sheave, the remaining twist preloads/leans the ring onto the latch.[/quote]
