[Public-List] Mast Sheave

[David Gilbert]

Big Kanu has wire to rope halyards and when the problem first occurred  
I reported it to Bruce Burgess of the Rigging Shoppe here in Toronto.  
The mast was going in for some other purpose and he simply places a  
small aluminum strap across the opening very near the top of the mast.  
The problem has never reoccurred.
