Theres got to be a better way

[SunHarvester]

I haven't run this config. But I dont like it.

My new spin and main halyard exit the mast very close.

I was thinking of running the main through a clutch. But I dont need another job.

Im hoping someone might have a suggestion on a better mousetrap.

All the best sailors.

That’s pretty awful.

Is there a reason further up the mast this halyard has been routed like this?

Or

It isn't the right sort of block, and won't do as is, but it's not easy to see the alternatives from the photos. Could you back off a bit? You need a solution that properly attaches the block and conforms to the geometry of your halyards. With the two going to different destinations, it doesn't appear that a two sheave block will be the solution, so I'm curious about what space is available on the rack.

Have you thought about using a fiddle block?

[FabioC]

What about using a double block and then, if necessary to spread the two halyards apart, route them through a deck organizer like Spinlock has. But most likely the double block suffices. A fiddle block as it has been suggested above would work as well, but a double block routes the two lines a bit better.

These 2 halyards go to 2 different deck organizers. I'll get more pics.

Perhaps I was overthinking it.
