[quote=gahamby]Transitive verb, example 2a.
The OP indicated he was having trouble getting the head of the mainsail high enough to disengage the ring from the hook. A trip line would help by pulling the ring aft of the hook if he could not rotate the mast enough.
I found once I had a square top main the leverage of the jack batten made it easier to clear the ring when rotating the mast.[/quote]
