Re-install halyard....
Dave, Sorry Dave but it took me awhile to stop haughing, I have a 4 year old. Aint we go fun!! I'm don't know your boat specificly but here's some general stuff I hope you can adapt to your mast. 1. You may need to remove your mast cap and/or foot. If you do, It's not to hard to remove and reinstall. 2. Your back stay is a nice stiff wire which can be fed up the mast as a messanger. Run the stay up the mast. tie the halyard to the end and pull through. If you know pop riveting, you don't need the rest of this. But you never know, so here it is. 3. Assuming now that at least one of the ends must come off to make this work, here's what you need. All Home Depot stuff. Drill and 3/16 bit. Small punch or nail Hammer Pop rivet gun 3/16 aluminum rivets (long) 4. Ok, you want to take a cap off. Identify the rivets holding it to the mast. They look like screws with no slot but a hole in the center. Drill through the hole in the center just a little bit and the head should come loose. Pull the head off and punch through the rivet body with the punch or nail. Repeat for the 2-4 rivets holding the cap on. pull the cap off. Go to no. 2. 5. To reinstall cap after the halyards and mast cap are in place, push fresh rivet into the holes and tighten with the gun per instructions supplied with rivet gun.
