The halyard is led through the cowling and to the turning block at the base of the mast

in the end of the main halyard once reeved. 
 

   

 

 

Jib Halyard 

The jib halyard exits the mast on the port side, is led through the cowling deck to a 
turning block at the base of the mast post from where the sail is hauled aloft.   
 

   

 

 
Once hoisted, the jib halyard tension is controlled by a separate hauling line attached to 
a cleat that is fitted to the halyard above the deck.
