[quote=Andinista]I don’t have experience with the hook you describe but i’ve tried the welded and the separate
ring and shackle and i don’t see a reason why the non-welded would work better. There are more issues related to how you tie it, typically a stopper knot pointing towards the mast track (allthough that affects more on locking than unlocking the hook i think). A non-stretching halyard helps a lot and an [url=https://www.murrays.com/product/01-0010/]easy rig tool[/url] too. In my case i struggled a long time thinking that i wasnt pulling enough to move the hook up, but what really happened is that i wasn’t pulling the sail down enough before releasing mast rotation. Since then it has become much easier, even on the water. As said above, trying to figure out what happens is very important.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Andinista on Jul 18, 2021 - 10:48 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
