[C320-list] Replacement of Jib Halyard

[John Anderson]

I've always taped (with rigging tape) a string to the end of the halyard and then pulled the string through the mast. Take the old halyard with you to the rigger and he can match the length and reuse the shackle assuming it is in good condition. Now my rigger splices a small loop into the end of the halyard so I can tie a string to it. It works very well.
