[C38] Main Haylard Rope Clutch Question

[Steven Ribble]

Thanks Jay...that makes more sense, form your earlier description I thought
there was a clutch on the mast.  I'm building up to re-painting the deck and
when I do I intend to lead everything aft (similar to what you have).
 Appreciate the pics...happy sailing!
