Hello Everyone - I'm new to sailing and picked up a '78 Day Sailer II last year. While hoisting the sails in my yard I noticed that the main sail did not go up to the top of the mast - see first photo. I saw that the line was through the pulley on the side of the mast, and then a friend said that it should be through the top of the mast, so I changed it - see photo two. My questions to the group:
1. Which location is correct - top or side?
2. If the correct location is the top, then what is the purpose of the side pulley?
3. If the correct location is the side, then what is the purpose of the top pulleys?
Thanks!
Nick
