[quote=rssailor]Kevin,
I had a lot of trouble with unlocking my halyard from the lock at the top of the mast. I bought a Murrays halyard ring and that solved the problem, halyard is easy to unlock. I have a comp tip mast on my Hobie 18 and I use a stopper knot setup to be able to get the halyard up as much as possible. Anyways the shackle was a real deal changer as I wanted to take my halyard lock off as well due to frustration getting the halyard unlocked. Try it again with either the hobie shackle or the Murrays shackle with stopper knot setup or have the halyard spliced to the shackle. Also spray the bolt rope with Mclube before you hoist the sail, it makes a huge difference. Good luck.
