Not sure I understand the question. Did you pull up the halyard?

If you hoisted the halyard up the mast without a sail and the mast is fixed, as on a bigger boat. You're just gonna have to go up the stick after it...

Just flip it over under and over, then you should be able to put it back on, piece of cake!

Not sure what you did??? Can you elaborate? How do you roll up the jib without the jib on it... the jib is the sail??

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.

My guess is that he pulled the furling line out of the drum? The solution would be... feed the line back around the drum by turning the drum by hand?

edit: on second read, the halyard interpretation seems more likely.

Last season as I was taking down my sails for winter storage, I removed my sails and accidentally rolled up the the halyard to the top of the mast. Now as the season is beginning, I realized my mistake and cant figure out how to get the halyard down so that I can put back on my jib.

Ahh... you accidentally let the halyard go up the mast... well, unless you can drop your mast, it is time for you to learn how to use a bosun's chair. Don't try going aloft unless your boat is IN THE WATER.
