Brand new to sailing, and I've got a snapped headsail halyard. It happened while furling the sail after we had hoisted it for the first time this season. Either we did something wrong or something isn't turning at the top thay should be because I think the halyard was wrapping around the forestay.
I've been trying to identify my furling system so that I can try to find some documentation about it online. Anyone have any ideas? See pics
In one photo I'm holding the end of the halyard before hoisting. There is a steel cable attached to the end of the halyard. Was I supposed to have disconnected this from the halyard when we hoisted the sail?
I'll be climbing the mast to see what went wrong, but I want to understand how all the components work first.
