I went up the mast at the end of the season to remove the genoa halyard sheaves for replacement. I discovered that they cannot be removed on my boat (C&C 42 Custom) with the mast up, or at least not easily, because the forestay is in the way. This project will need to wait until the mast is down.

This is a timely post. How do you access the sheaves at the top of the mast? My masthead is welded completely. I have seen other masts where the top plate is bolted on. Adam C&C 36 Pictou NS
