Default replace mainsail halyard

wrote in message
ups.com...
I need to replace my the halyard for main main sail. How can I do this
without climbing the mast?

The old halyard is still in place.

Thanks



You can cut off whatever is at the business end of the old halyard and
either sew the new one on temporarily or attach a mouse (light line) to it
with tape and pull it through... I've done the latter several times... just
pull gently otherwise you might separate the two lines.
