Brad, On the bitter end of the halyard starting 6 to 10 inches back. Take the messenger line and start making half hitches around the halyard. Make 10 to 15. pull them tight. If you like belts and spenders, then
get out your sail Needle and Waxed thread and run a few stitches though the both of them before you tape over them.
