Racing Boats, especially, use a variety of Ball Swage Hooks or special Main Halyard Locks.
Mounted at the Masthead, they have the advantage of reducing the halyard compression load on the
Mast by half. On smaller boats they are used closer to the deck for convenience and repeatability
of sail hoist height.
Once the Lock is engaged the Mainsail is tensioned using a downhaul or Cunningham. Halyard Locks for Ball
