Hey Dennis, I always thought that it would be faster/easier to hoist the kite for port rounding from the starboard/high side. I couldn’t wrap my head around how to do it on my boat. You suggest to just ‘swap’ the halyards inside the mast and have the port kite halyard exit the starboard side and the stud halyard exit the port side. Is this correct? Are there precautions to take regarding the halyards crossing inside the mast besides making sure they run free? My mast has the kite halyards port and starboard at the top of the mast and the jib halyard centered and lower—it is on a furler. Thanks Charlie NelsonWater Phantom1995 36 XL/kcb

Unfortunately my spin halyards are external. Support your strategy of moving the spin halyard to starboard. Hoisting the spin early on port roundings is facilitated if the halyard is on the high side. Can you install another exit plate and have both exit starboard? You shouldn't have to wait on dropping the mast. I've swapped halyards side to side with the mast up. -- Dennis C.Touche' 35-1 #83Mandeville, LA On Fri, May 7, 2021 at 9:54 AM John Heaton via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: Hi folks - on my C&C 29 Mk2 the jib halyard comes out on the std side of the mast and the spinnaker on the port side and I want to reverse them to make it easier to "jump" the spinnaker halyard. Anyone else done this - I noted the spin halyard exits the mast higher than the jib halyard, so I will probably do this in the fall when the mast has been dropped? thanks CAN363 Double on the Rocks Toronto Thanks to all of the subscribers that contributed to the list to help with the costs involved.
