I lost the mast end of my topping lift line into the boom on my Oday 35, and sailing is off until that’s retrieved. Does anyone have any ideas about a way to find and fish that back out? In a couple of days I’ll head to the boat with a powerful flashlight, an electricians snake, and a fishhook with the barb filed off.
I have no idea what the inside of a Selden boom looks like, but I’m afraid there are blocks and reversing outhaul and/or reefing lines. Maybe my luck will hold and I’ll get it, but if not I’ll have to pull the line out and replace it, a job I don’t look forward to.
Does anyone have experience and/or advice for this little problem. If so, thank you !
