[C320-list] Halyard Problem

[Larry Frank]

Sorry for coming to this party a little late.  My mast has an inspection
port at the base that has a cover screwed over it.  If yours does you might
want to take a look see and maybe this will help.

Did you have a shackle that went down the inside of the mast?  If so you may
be correct about pulling the mast but before I did that I would talk to a
rigger.  They have all kinds of tricks for solving problems like this that
we create.

I have a wayward halyard and went to the top of the mast to see if I could
retrieve it. No luck as there was no sight of it on the sheave. When I
gently pull on the other end while standing on the deck I get resistance.
I'm assuming you are going to tell me I have to drop the mast but I thought
I'd ask if there is another solution.

Thank you for your thoughts.
