Yeah i thought that you would have to climb the mast with the spinnaker up undo and shackle and then put the shackle and trapeze wire in anova hole !
Gor blimey i think id live with having it left in the bottom hole |

Unlike a 4 tonner, they are allowed to add as many bits of string as they like, so you just put a bit of string through the mast and out to the trapeze wires, lead it down to a cleat at the deck - pull on the string and the trap wires get pulled in to the lower holes - ta daaaaa!!!!! (Big applause, claps drum roles, cymbals crashing...) |

Int moths used to do this for the shrouds and forestay - higher hounds = stiffer short topmast for more power. pull the string - lower hounds = bendier longer topmast for better gust response. ( but now they have tuned the rigs better, so don't need to ) |
