Brion,
Good advise.
At this time having external halyards is causing me to think in this direction so I will look into a block to the side of the mast head as you noted.
Hopefully by the time I am able to break for some offshore cruising, I will be in a position to transition my mast to internal halyards as this sounds like the best way to go.
Thanks for all the help.
Fair winds.
Bob
