I have halyards needing replaced, two of them go inside the mast. How do
you attach the new line to the old and thread them? Is there a best
direction to pull? Any other advice?

Thanks,

Stephen


I have taken a needle and thread from the sail repair kit and loosely sew
the ends of the old and new halyards together, end to end, and pull out the
old and thread in the new. Another way is to attach a light line to the
halyard as a messenger and pull it through as the old comes out. reverse the
process for the new halyard.
