Reply to: Unable to un-hook the main sail

[quote=presto13031][quote=nacraman57]One caveat is the halyard must be to the right of the mast hook while raising.[/quote] I have been having problems with that the last few times that I have sailed. While raising the sail, the halyard looped over the hook to the left and bound up. I brought the sail down and cleared it, and re raised it, but the halyard kept fouling the hook. I have given up the last 2 times and laid the boat down on the beach to solve the issue. Any ideas? I have thought of buying 50-60 feet of cheap line from walmart and looping it around the knot (holding both ends on the ground) so I can pull the halyard to the right side to clear the hook. Once the sail is up, I would let go of one end and pull it down. One other thought is the method shown on the Aquarius link above.[/quote]
