I'm replacing all the ropes on my new-to-me boat but I am unsure what some are for. so I hope someone can help?
There is a pair of sheaves at the top of the mast so I have made the assumption that one will be for main halyard and one for jib halyard.
There is a pulley attached to the rear of the masthead which is for topping lift, and another pulley at the front of the mast head, but I have no idea what that might be for.
There is also a pulley attached to the side of the masthead, and I wondered if that was used maybe for hoisting a dinghy?
There is a spinnaker pole but I don't know how to use that yet so unsure if it needs any lines on.
So, anyone got any ideas about the front and side pulleys? And am I right about the sheaves?
