SM spare halyard on main mast
|
Hello,
I got my SM without spare halyard on the main mast. I like to ask where on the main mast is the spare halyard block attached so it is not interfering with other halyards and hardware. Regards Jarek Zemlo NOA BLUE

You will find an extension of the mast top to attach a block or shackle for a block Photo from the front photo from the starboard side

Bill Hi,
I am far away from my boat now but checked pictures and my 1997 model #201 is without that extension on the main mast. I am certain that it is original and there was no modification made to the mast top. I took the masts down for the first time since new for repainting (see picture). Jarek NOA BLUE

Now
I reckon someone removed the spare halliards to use the holes for the forward aerial and the wind transducer. They seem to be occupying the places where my two halliards are located. Ian Ocean Hobo SN 96

Well, obviously Amel changed the mast top during the production of the SM to allow for a specific mounting for an external halyard. I am betting Mr. Amel resisted this addition.😀 This is another simple reminder, that although SMs look alike from the beginning of production until the last one produced, changes were made a lot more frequently than most of us realize. I try to remember when answering a question to include this statement in all answers. Bill

I have the same mast head on my SM#32. Using the hole at the front there is a big eye as per the picture attached on which you can put a block for a spinnaker or genaker halyard. Juan de Zulueta Ophelie X SM#32 Envoyé de mon iPhone

Hi Bill,
For interest you are correct. Amel did change the mast top along with many other things. When I bought Ladybug, my SM 216, from Amel, they offered the extra halyard holder as an expensive option. I accepted. It was a beautifully crafted plate of stainless steel that was fitted to the top of the mast and had over hangs on the front two sides for halyard blocks. I am not at the boat now (the boat is in Le Marin. I am in Newport), but I will take a photo when I return in an two months or so if anyone is interested.
Regards,
Miles

Jarek,
this is how is done on my Amel. Never mind the broken FM antenna that have been replaced. Regards, -- Slavko SM 2000 #279 Bonne Anse in Portoroz

Slavko,
thanks, that looks nice and with good distance from the genoa so there is no interference. Regards Jarek NOA BLUE
