A halyard routing modification for a balance lug rig addresses a yard-slamming problem Sven Yrvind experienced during a gale in the Bay of Biscay.1:37 The old setup ran the halyard straight to the masthead with no block; the new arrangement starts at the forward end of the yard, runs around the boom, around the mast, through a block at the top, and back down.0:17 The change keeps the yard held against the mast, and because the halyard follows the yard down when a reef is taken, it should prevent the yard from slamming during heavy weather without requiring anyone to climb the mast.1:28 The test is conducted solo in a workshop over Easter, not at sea.0:43 Yrvind notes that balance lug rigs are uncommon in Sweden, where spritsails dominate, and finds the lug arrangement simpler than the sprit — though real-world performance remains untested at the time of filming.2:00
