[C320-list] Replacement of Jib Halyard

[Pat Ireland]

I was surprised....the rigger doubled the end of the old halyard and taped
it, then he tied a tag line between the old halyard and the eye splice of
the new halyard.  He carefully pulled the new one through.  When it caught
he backed it up and slowly tried again with success.  Have always thought
the diameter had to be smaller than double, but experience says no.
