yesterday raising the jib on my 1883 Catalina 22 and halfway up it locked up solid. Turns out the wire halyard had jumped the groove and jammed between the sheave and the casting. Any suggestions as to how to prevent this happening again?.)
I've also read that climbing to the top of the mast isn't safe on a boat as small as the cat 22. Any experience/opinions here? (I climbed a larger boat with mast steps and pulled my mast over, but if I'm alone next time..)
