Molia’s mast always had the top sheave and lower opening for a topping lift, but one was not threaded. Also, with the spinnaker control lines led aft, there is no jamming cleat for one (starboard side).
With the mast down, we have taken the opportunity to thread a new 8mm rope to make a topping lift. Its the gold fleck pictured here.
For now we will run the topping lift aft in place of the spinnaker halyard. In the future we will expand the deck organiser on the starboard side to 4 sheaves, and add an extra cleat.
The current spinnaker halyard jamming cleat is labelled SPIN.
We will leave the POLE UP line in place as we sometimes use the spinnaker pole as a whisker pole.
