Thanks for the reply, that's what I figured for the main sail attachemnt.  I
guesse I need to get the nerve to lower the mast while in the slip to attach
a flag halyard and get used to raising and lowering.  I do have the mast
raising crane but remember someone commenting on how many of the little pins
end up in the Chesapeake bay while doing this in the water.
