through the halyard top fitting /luff assembly. If the mast is
up, pass a light line through the luff and make it fast to the
cotter pin hole in the swage-end of the turnbuckle using a
piece of wire to make the link. Pull the line while pushing
the luff up the forestay. When the swage-end and wire
appear, screw on the turnbuckle body to prevent the luff
from falling down.
