Both the main halyard and jib halyard on my Stratos are not guaranteed to lock into their cleats so will come out unless I tie the halyard ends around the mast. The Halyards were replaced in 2009 / 10 and as the boat is only used recreationally about 7 or 8 times a year they are still in good condition. I replaced the jib halyard previously with no improvement. Is there a good solution to solve this problem? |

Ivan, if the rope is slipping through the cleat, it can only be the diameter of the rope, or the effectiveness of the cleats. I cant think of any other factors that will cause the halyard(s) to slip.

This is not usually a problem, as long as there is a good tension the ropes should lock into the cleats. However the Cleats on the mast can become worn and may need replacing. |
