Please help! I have owned my 1976 Cal 2-27 for about five years but just have not gotten around to fixing it up. The time is now to bring it back.

1) I am about 95% sure that the main halyard is supposed to be exterior, but please educate me if this is not true.

2) What would cause the halyard to fall inside the mast? How can I get it out and is this a common problem?

Thank you for your answers, I have been sailing plenty of times, but have not worked on a boat in some time.
