Ordered a pair of black bontrager velo something shoes. Originally I was going to go with white. My current white bontrager xxx were ruined from last winter. I had tried cleaning them multiple times and they continued to look horrid. I was going to use the new white shoes only in dry conditions and for racing. My wife was not on board with this. Yesterday she cleaned my shoes and they look brand new, so she approved the order of black shoes to be worn in the winter and in the rain. Pretty stoked.

So, this was why my electrician was having such trouble pulling cable up my mast. Someone rove the topping lift through the wire conduit when the boat was commissioned by the freshman class at the culinary institute. None of us can figure out how they did it.

It actually involves bicycular content. You drop the halyard from the top with a length of bike chain attached to the end, and fish for it through the corresponding mast gore with a coat hanger. Easy to do if you don't foul other lines on the way down.

I've done the halyard run before. It's not too bad. I attached the chain to a length of thin line such as 3/16 for a leader line, and then run the halyard. Helps a lot to put the other halyards and lines under tension so they are taught and not easily twisted around your new halyard. Usually you can feel if the new one is fouling the existing halyards. Good luck!
I have not run wire down the conduit. Will that be a challenge once the TL is properly routed? Last boat I did away with the boom topping lift and just used the vang to hold up the boom. Hated the TL always flopping around the main roach.
