[C320-list] Halyard up the mast

[Warren Updike]

Guess I should have read the entire post and saved myself the work.

I did this once on the spinnaker halyard but it was not quite up to the top.
I saw the tip in Sail Magazine I think. You take another small line and
attach it to another halyard. Where the halyard and the line meet you tape
on a treble fishing hook with the shank  and points pointing down and
flatten the barbs. Hoist the smaller line up with the spare halyard and
bring it so the fish hook touches the wayward halyard. Pull down on the
small line to "set" the hook into the wayward halyard and then pull down on
the small line and both halyards will come down. Believe it or not it
actually worked.
