I need to replace my the halyard for main main sail. How

can I do this
without climbing the mast?



Motor your boat up to a bridge that's about mast height.

Put the rope
through the pulley while standing on the bridge.

Better yet, heel the boat with the jib halyard, then pull the new line
through! g

Have a good bilge pump ready!
