[Public-List] furling gear and spinnaker halyard

[Kris Coward via Public-List]

Put a halyard restrainer on the front of the mast to help keep the jib
and spin halyards clear enough of each other to keep this problem at
bay. I figured this one out the hard way (by breaking the forestay with
(jib) halyard wrap before putting the restrainer on--fortunately I was
able to rig up the spare halyard as an emergency forestay before the rig
got any ideas about falling over).
