Use a bicycle chain to run the messenger line over the sheaves. Drop messenger line outside the mast first to mark when the messenger chain should show up at exit hole. Use bent coat hanger (one of my favorite tools) to grab it.

Boat is currently on the hard. I'm sure I'm not the first to make this mistake. Has anyone had luck just dropping a weighted messenger line down from the top of the mast with the rig up or am I going to have to drop the rig? All responses appreciated.
