Reply to: What about installing winch and cleat for main sheet..... Hobie 18

[quote=MN3][quote]i drilled and tapped my mast near the foot installed a cleat and am now tieing it off the main halyard every time. its simple, painless, and dont see why hobie never went with it in the first place[/quote] when you run your sail up the track and it catches the hook you have what it was designed to handle if you run your halyard up, around a block and back down to the foot, you have just doubled the force on the mast. If you have a comp tip.. this could be trouble. if you don't have a comp tip.. you still have double the force on your mast and COULD be a problem ... thats why they use a ring on top, or a bead on a wire halyard that fits into the fork ontop [img]http://www.catsailor.com/bb_files/11514.gif[/img] <!-- editby --><em>edited by: andrewscott, Aug 20, 2010 - 09:30 AM</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
