I don’t have experience with the T, but is sounds very much like what the legacy Nacra used to hold up the mainsail. During the final portion of the hoist, a small copper bit that is swaged onto the wire halyard goes up the mast, around the sheave & comes down the front of the mast.
A small rectangle with a V attaches to the front of the mast. The copper swage is pulled below this V, then by cantering the halyard in the V, it catches the swage when the halyard is released.
It’s foolproof on the 5.7, but we found it problematic on the 5.0, the shorter mast changes the geometry, & it was hard to get it to catch.
The solution was to bend the V outwards from the mast 1/8”, easy leash after that. Sorry, I don’t have a picture.[/quote]
