[quote=sailinagin]Thanks for the info. My halyard ring is the style that has a "segment" bar from about 12 o'clock to about 4 o'clock across the ring. So now I have the bowline at the 4 oclock and a clove hitch at the 12 oclock positions. Put a couple twists in the halyard before attaching the main and this has been working well. Like you say definately face the knot away from the mast.
HA - when I read (fig 8) in your post I started looking for figure 8! Man I need to get some coffee.[/quote]
