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 Stephen, I'm sure there are different ways to do this, but when I changed out my halyard a week ago I just butted up the end of the new one to the end of the old one, end to end, and used some wax whipping twine and a needle to sew it all together. I then put a small amount of plastic tape around the joint for a small amount of extra support. Then I just used the old halyard to pull through the new one. Went through no problem and took only a few minutes. --Alan Gomes |
