A spinnaker halyard tangled in the top of the furler on an 8-meter sailboat, preventing the jib from furling or unfurling completely.5:54 The halyard worked its way through a split ring on the jib shackle, creating a mechanical jam.6:35 To clear the line, the solo sailor climbed the mast while the boat was underway to minimize the rolling motion compared to anchoring in a swell.7:06 The maneuver successfully freed the halyard, allowing the jib to operate normally.8:00 During the coastal transit, the sailor explored several sea caves by dinghy, noting that wind and chop often made anchoring near cliffs uncomfortable.3:28 The boat eventually docked at a marina for 30 euros per night to resupply and access shower facilities.15:50 Keeping tension on the spinnaker halyard when not in use helps prevent it from wrapping around the jib furler.
