Ben Falat has a slightly different set up using a metal wire more like the Europe's and that is on the site in the members area.
Phil, I do have a camera and you might be right that I might have access to the site, but I can't remember the last time I saw my boat to take any photos. I have more than enough other stuff to do so please go away in the most polite of ways...... |

That set up would be quite interesting to see on the CA website for anyone wanting to 'retro fit', if only you knew someone with a camera and access to the website  |

I think you've accurately described my Selden mast and why it won't work. Annoying.....

the rigger-release systems are required on I14s aren't they? so that they can lower the main at sea if needed. Even where they don't bother with a halyard as such.

The halyard is external. The top cleat is on the front of the mast and the bottom one is on the stbd side. Mine has a double pulley top fitting to make sure that the halyard doesn't pull too hard on the carbon on either side. It's like this on all of the superspar externally rigged masts. It may be that if the pulley is angled backwards and is only a single then the halyard will rub on the front of the mast.

Just curious to give it a go and your system sounds potentially the cheapest/easiest.

the megabyte has the same system as the byte and also the europe. If it works on a finn and a europe I'm sure it would be transferable to an ok.
there is a halyard lock in the p&b catalogue at £77! I think I am going to try the phantom style system on the contender, not least because I hate rethreading halyards when it all goes wrong. Recommendations for the right sort of string? |

the same, but different...

Mine is just an open cleat that the halyard jams in. You need a little slack in the system so you can pull it downwards to release but not much. I also have a cleat at the bottom to take up the spare halyard.

I made one for my Canoe that doesn't use the ball and ramp, instead its got a trigger release and its all internal. You can use it with a rope halyard - it just needs a shackle on the end to engage. Seems to work OK so far, but its got a lot of components and would be very exepensive if manufactured.
