Halyard Hangers on a Beneteau 46

We recently had the pleasure of installing Halyard Hangers on a clients 2007 Beneteau 46.  This decked out Beneteau has been upgraded with many options but the touch it needed was the addition of 6 beautiful stainless steel Halyard Hangers.  The cockpit really pops now; the stock Beneteau hangers have great utility however we believe the Halyard Hangers provide a much cleaner appearance which matche the other stainless found in the cockpit.  We will post the photos below and you can be the judge!

Halyard Hanger on Jeanneau 57

Halyard Hanger Install on Jeanneau 57

We recently had the pleasure of installing two Halyard Hangers on a 2013 Jeanneau 57.  This is one sweet machine and we at KVT innovations were happy to see the Halyard Hanger looking right at home in this 57' yachts impressive cockpit.  The Halyard Hanger is a piece of sailing hardware designed to organize yacht sheets and organize halyards, and it performs this task perfectly on the Jeanneau 57.  The Jeanneau 57 is a well thought out and stunningly beautiful yacht, for the majority of the halyards and sheets there are storage areas which elegantly hold the lines and keep them organized.  We found that the aft led genoa sheets were the old two that did not have an optimal storage location.  That was quickly fixed with the addition of two Halyard Hangers.

We made an install video to demonstrate the install process and to show the improvement the Halyard Hangers provide over the stock lay out.

Halyard Hanger Step by Step Installation on Jeanneau 39i

Halyard Hanger Step by Step Installation on Jeanneau 39i

We had the pleasure of recently installing six Halyard Hangers on a Jeanneau 39i, this was a fairly simple install which made a world of a difference.  On our last post we saw only the before and after photos, here we will go into more detail and see a step by step install with photos.  As you will see the cockpit organization, sheet and halyard organization, and general looks were all greatly improved.

First off, here is the before photo again, this is how the yacht first appeared; not bad but messy, disorganized, and overall not ideal.

 

Our first step was to look at the cockpit and try to visualize how we would like to see it when finished.  If you are planning your own install imagine what would be the most convenient (and stylish) location for your Halyard Hangers, how much space you would like each hanger to have?  Where would you like your sheets or halyards to be when you need them?  What areas would you like more space or less clutter?  This is your yacht make it exactly how YOU want it!

 The first step we took for this install is not necessary but it is a helpful way to plan your Halyard Hanger install.  We took common blue painters tape and laid out the locations for our hangers.  Placing painters tape allows you to see the lines and to mark locations without having to mark your yacht.  On this particular yacht the cabin top bulk head has a nice sloping line, we wanted to follow this angle and laying the tape made this very easy.

Placing painters tape to plan out install

Tape makes following lines visually easy

As you can see in the photo below marking on the tape allows you to make accurate marks and not mar your fiberglass.  You also will want to check the reverse side (inside your yacht) and make sure you are going to drill into an area that is unobstructed.

The next step is the fun part, get your drill, and 11/64 drill bit and make those holes!

Drilling the second hole through a Halyard Hanger will help with spacing

If you used tape you can now remove it and clean the surface, a prepped surface will ensure that silicon will have a clean surface to grab onto (if you choose to seal with silicon).

 To ensure a perfectly water tight seal we recommend using silicon for your install.  Place a small amount of silicon on the back of the hanger and along the threads of the through bolts.  Be sure to clean up and excess silicon when done!

You are almost there!  The next step is to install the Halyard Hangers, it will help to have someone on the inside of the yacht and another on the outside.  The person on the outside should hold the through bolt steady and properly aligned (++ instead of +x) while the person on the inside tightens the nuts.

And now you have the perfect tools to organize your halyards, sheets, or whatever else you need organized!

Halyard Hanger Jeanneau 39i Before and After

Today we bring you before and after photos of Jeanneau 39i in San Diego California which recently received the Halyard Hanger treatment.  This stylish French yacht was already quite an impressive yacht with great styling and design, however we believe you will be convinced by the before and after photos that we have taken this yacht up a notch and really perfected its looks.

For this install we found the ideal location to mount the Halyard Hangers to be on the bulkhead just below the harken winches.  This location would make it easy to organize sheets, organize halyards, and provide great ease of use.  By installing the Halyard Hangers in this location it also freed up space and increased this yachts level of safety.  This particular yacht owner has young children and a consideration had been the safety of bringing the lines off of the floor and surfaces where they could be a tripping or tangle hazard, this is however a great consideration for all sailors and really gives everyone one less thing to worry about on your day out on the water.

Below is the before photo.  As you can see the sheets and halyards are not ideal and appear messy and disorganized.  If you need to get access to a single line out of the mass it would require more effort than you likely want to expend.   Many of us are used to this appearance, however there is now another option.

As you can see in the after photo the sheet and halyard organization is far better.  Access to any specific line is easy and stress free (and isn't that what a day on the boat should be about after all?).  The yachts cockpit lines are also now more visible and cleaned up, and we would argue the yacht now has a better "dock presence".

As these pictures show this yacht now has a much cleaner look.  This is a major improvement in appearance for a small cost, for a fraction the cost of a single cleaning this yacht now has its style down to a T.   

To see more details about this install tune in for our next blog post where we will give a detailed step by step account of this install, it will be a great help if you are planning out your own Halyard Hanger overhaul!
