e)
Untie the mouse line, add the plastic
bobble on the end of the rope and
tie knot #4 to stop the bobble from
coming off.
d)
Add the main halyard shackle to the other
end of the main halyard (the end emerging
from the top of the mast.)
Once the mouse line has been pulled fully
through the mast and the thin halyard line
emerges from the hole in the mast, stop pulling
the line through and secure both ends of the
halyard near the mast foot to prevent them
from being lost inside the mast.

Fitting the jib halyard is a similar process to the main halyard. The mouse line for the jib
halyard emerges from the front of the mast about 3/4 of the way towards the top, and
from a hole in the port side of the mast, just above the gooseneck.
