[quote=Andinista]What is confusing is that we normally tie the halyards for trailering, and just untie them AFTER stepping the mast. The halyards are typically a line, just tie that line, no need for a velcro. But your halyards are apparently wire? I thought you said that you changed the jib one for line. The forestay, on the other hand, is a wire that more likely will be rolled and put on the tramp for trailering. If it’s the only loose wire then it is unlikely that it gets tangled with other lines or wires. What I do is keeping the stay adjuster on the forestay when I remove it. This way i keep the adjustment pin always on the same (or most often used) position and don’t think much about it next time. The other advantage is that I can pass it through other lines on the mast base or through the mast rotator when stepping the mast, So that I know where it is when I need it. Sometimes I let it loose too, no big deal. For short distance travels I don’t tie the forestay to the tramp either, i use the adjuster to lock it under the foot strap.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Andinista on Nov 06, 2021 - 05:38 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
