Andrew,

I think it is a great idea, but I cannot see how that would work. Do you attach 
the end of the halyard to the car on the rail?

Jeremy, I backtrack the jib halyard back to the mast and hang the bitter end 
(coiled) on the halyard, just below where it exists the mast (with a prusik 
knot). Then I use a few pieces of Velcro to keep it neat. This way the tail end 
of the halyard is under the main sail cover, when at the dock (no UV damage). 
Also, the line stays dry so there is no green algae/mold.

Antal makes something called a halyard slider system that consists of a car 
with a hook on it that runs on a mast mounted track. You splice a loop in the 
end of the halyard. And pull the jib up with a light tail and then disconnect 
the tail. No messy halyard to coil at all. I'm installing it on my boat for the 
furling headsail. That halyard never gets touched once the sail is up anyway.

Hi all,

All my halyards come down to a block at the bottom of the mast where there is a 
winch and cleat for them on the deck.   I want to find a way to get the coiled 
ends off the deck and hanging on the mast somehow, especially when at the dock. 
 I really don't want to drill/rivet/tap the mast (never done that) but could I 
guess.

Interested to hear what others recommend.

Thanks,
