Gooseneck
The gooseneck on the Pacific Cat 19 is pretty standard. It ends in a steel trunnion roughly 4-6" long that fits into a socket on the boom. The boom can pivot around this trunnion for raising and lowering the mainsail.
Normally the main halyard is clipped off to the attachment point for the mainsail's tack. I moved it up to the sail track to keep it from slapping the mast in the wind. Once the mast was down, I moved it back to its normal parking spot.
