[Public-List] Mast Sheave Bolt

[Jonathan Bresler]

All halyards external?

The masthead on Constance has two pins abaft the mast: one is used for the
backstay, and the other for the main topping lift.
At least that is my recollection.  The main halyard line is external but
for the small part passing over the sheave in the mast.
Where do you hang a block for an external main halyard?   Photos?
