[Public-List] Downhaul for headsail

[Rod Symmes]

I have a snap on the end of my halliard and permanently tied the downhaul to the eye of the snap.  That gives two benefits - one less thing to remember while changing sails and I can never lose the halliard to the top of the mast... - not that any of us would do that (-:

Cheers,   Rod
