Spinnaker Halyard exit

[kevin osullivan]

Has anyone on the list installed a Spinnaker Halyard on a 461?
What I'd ideally like to do is install a top down asymmetric furler, but the stem isn't set up for it and I think the spinnaker exit might be too close to the head swivel of the furler.
thanks,

There is a plate that can be bolted down to the mast head to extend a block for this… Call the firm that made the mast and order the part from them…. i did this on my Oc 400.

If it’s a standard OC461 it should have a mast head something like the one in the attached picture. The visible block is for the Spin Halyard.

Thanks Stewart. Do you happen to know if the messenger visible at the Spinnaker exit has been passed through the block?

That looks just as described… and that also looks very heavy duty too.

Another picture shows the messenger line disappearing into the mast about 5-6 ft. down on the starboard side.
