I don't understand that. If you pass a fish tape up the mast ($10 at the hardware store) the mast can be horizontal, or just tilted up on one saw horse, and you can still feed lines through it very easily.
Wouldn't that work for you?
The other option, instead of moving the boat ($) would be if they can use the travellift, put a sling around your spreaders, and help you step the mat so no gin pole and dancing is required. Quite possibly cheaper than moving the boat.

He's not replacing a halyard...he's replacing the
halyard sheave that is located up in the masthead cap.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
