[quote=leeboweffect]Welcome greengolftee87! You are correct. The line portion of the halyard ties (bowline knot) to the what you are calling the loop which feeds down the front, bow side of the mast. The other end of the cable should have a shackle on it (which attaches to the grommet in the head plate on your mainsail) and feeds down the back, stern side of the mast. The steel ball does hook in the fork after the main is hoisted to its fully up position. Hope this helps.[/quote]
