My sheave box has sheaves in the front for 2 jibs and a spinnaker. Behind each of them is another smaller sheave.
Do you run each halyard between the front and back sheave, or do you run them over each sheave?

Ty Bill. Running it over both does seem logical. I have the mast down and sheave box out, so that's easy.
However... if you were trying to feed a halyard with the mast up, it would seem a bit difficult to get the bicycle chain over the aft sheave. There's probably a riggers trick to do that.

I was able to get a tracing line with bike chain over the second sheave with a little help from a bent coat hangar, this was for my main halyard.

Thanks. I won't ask how you managed to get up to the masthead in order to run that halyard.
