Some days you win, some days..
I was removing the halyards to wash them and swap them end-for-end, and
the messenger line for the halyard for the RF genny got stuck and
broke. My fault - the messenger line was too light. My question is:
How does that halyard run at the masthead?
Looking at pictures on the website it appears there are sheaves for 4
lines at the masthead - 2 aft and 2 forward.
On my boat, the spinnaker halyard is lead out of the masthead on the
port forward sheave. My guess is that the jib halyard is supposed to
run over the starboard sheave, exit closer to the mast, and then run
through the flattened bail on the mast.
The best picture show this - and what I think I want is:

Anyone have any insights? Thanks.
