Lowering the Main Sail on Masts with Hook Systems

By David Rogers

To lower the sail on masts with hook systems, pull the halyard a little (to take presure off of the hook), then rotate the mast ~90 degrees, the ring will easily unhook, and the main will come right down.Use the reverse to raise the main.
