There are what look to be two halyard hooks at the bottom of the mast.
The main halyard is (I think) the 'noncomptip' type, i.e. it's a fairly long piece of wire that runs all the way from the top of the mast down the the bottom. Or pretty close to it.
My other H16 had a halyard that was mostly rope with a short bit of wire (basically enough to get over the pulley at the top).
It looks like they rivet in. Could I just drill the rivets out, then use pop rivets to reinstall one at the top of the mast?
It seems like there would be a lot of shear stress on those two aluminium rivets...[/quote]
