Hi all,
I'm wondering if someone knows what this is, and its purpose.
I'm referring to the steel cable threaded trough a steel pulley built in the top of the forestay.
Let's go in order:
In this picture there is something out of place: the white/yellow spinnaker halyard goes trough the halyard diverter, which it's facing forward instead of aft, and the genoa halyard is laying against the mast.
I've turned the diverted around 180* so that I could thread the white/blue halyard instead, and use that for the genoa.
Now I'm looking at that metal pulley built in the forestay and wondering what is it's main function. Both ends run all the way down the mast.
Since the top of the forestay swivels, should that metal pulley be pointing forwards or sideways? Any idea?
Thanks
