[C38] Halyards, no photos attached

[Don Strong]

Steve: I would really like to see those photos. Unfortunately all I got 
was a "winmail.dat." Has Microsoft Outlook struck again?
Thanks, Don

In the one you can see the painted mast with the cover plates removed and in the other with the plate in place.  this should help with giving some perspective to what Tom talked about trying to do it from the top of the mast.   Our masts were manufactured by lefeill http://www.lefiell.com/2marine_main.html  This link goes to the mast and mast head page, I believe our mast is p/n OM4C with a cut length of 55'  Im sure they could probably give you a schematic of the proper mast head so that you could get another perspective of how the sheaves and pins fit together inside.
