Listen to Jeff, not the moronic Charlie.

Two methods:

1) Have someone else climb the mast


Dumb!



2) Attach a small diameter "messenger" line to the bitter
end and pull
that through. Then detach the old halyard. At the point
where the old
halyard was attached, you now attach the bitter end of the
new halyard
and use the messenger line to pull it through.

Dumber!



2a) If the old halyard is really of no potential for
reuse, then you
can just cut off the headboard shackle, attach the bitter
end of the
new halyard to that end, and pull it through.


Really stupid!
