Topic: Spinnaker Halyard Fitting
Posted: 09 June 2015 at 19:58

My 371 is a 2002 model and the spinnaker halyard comes down from the top of the mast to the brass colored fitting in the picture below which is attached to the top of the roller furling unit. I am trying to determine if the brass fitting which the spinnaker halyard runs through is currently correctly positioned. Mine currently faces slightly upward as opposed to sitting at a 90 degree angle to the mast. Does anyone with a 371 around the same production run have a picture of the one on your boat or are you able to take a zoomed in picture from the dock and share it?

Thanks. Jon

I am afraid that using it this way will ruin your halyard within a very short time, mine lasted less than 1 hour. I installed blocks on the rings and run my halyard through the blocks instead of through the ring.

Bandy: Thanks for the reply. Yes, I had a problem. But I was also problem free on this for 12 years and I think the fitting may have been repositioned slightly when I switched out my original facnor roller furling system for a Harken system. So I was hoping to get some feedback from someone with a close model year to mine that may still have the piece in its original position. If anyone has a picture or can let me know if by looking through some binoculars whether the rings sit at a right angle to the mast or whether it is angled like mine currently is, it would be appreciated.

Thanks. Jon

Have you found any resolution to this? I now find the same problem, and I am not comfortable adding extra blocks for my Code 0, as the direction of tension will possibly be too much downwards.

I have not yet implemented a good solution to this problem. I am all ears if you or anyone else can suggest something.

I am considering the blocks that Bandy suggested or maybe fabricating a new component that would be less likely to chafe the halyard.

Hi
Maybe you can use my solution.
First, I installed an o-ring, but the rope was damaged so it was necessary to shorten the rope at regular intervals.
The solution was a genoa lead car mounted on a short track.
The block can tilt to the side, so that the rope is always in the middle of the block.
It is easy to mount.
There is no risk of the rope sits is jammed
Maybe a little clumsy, but who see it in 16 meters height.

Why not to add extra block right to that bronze fitting? I have followed one Hanse371 which have had that solution for some time and it seems to be working well.

My own solution was to install another fitting point half way between the mast top and the original fitting. This type of mast is likely to take forces if fitting is close to the top.
