Date: 5/3/09 7:58a.m. Report: outside forum guidelines In Response To: Brian, when I got my boat.. (Jack, H23.5, SecondSojourn,Clermont Fl.) and found the halyard attaches too low on the mast. The one part I still need to get is the hound to attach to the mast before I start to use mine. I also need a buddy to actually sail with me because I don't want to struggle with it single handed. But, I don't mind cruising around with jib, genny, storm and main.
