Locate the following items in the rigging pack.
Fitting the spinnaker halyard is a similar process to the main and jib halyards, except
the spinnaker halyard is only composed of a single piece of rope.
The mouse line for the spinnaker halyard emerges
from the front of the mast at the mast head and from a
sheave on the aft side of the mast near the foot.

Check the ipop cleat just above where the spinnaker halyard emerges from the mast.
If the sheave is in the top position you will need to punch out the centre pin and replace
the sheave in the bottom position. If the sheave is already in the bottom position then you
can skip this stage.
