[Public-List] Mast Sheave Bolt

[Gordon Laco]

I have all my halyards external in Surprise’s rig, as she was when she was built.  

We still win races, and I never worry about what’s going on inside the mast that I cannot see.

You would have to provide me with wind tunnel data to convince me that at 6.5 or even 7 knots of speed the difference between internal and external halyards has any valuable significance on my 47 year old boat anyway.
