Last spring we had a bunch of boat owners in the harbor on a work party to put our masts back up.

In a perfect example of unskilled labor, someone pulled my topping lift down and out of the mast, which they didn't mention and I didn't discover until I put the boom on later.  

I've been using the spinnaker halyard this summer in a jury-rig but now need to fix this. I had a rigger go up but he couldn't get  up high enough see where the line should go (in the furling main mast). He ran a line down but it came out inside the mast by the furler.

I suppose the obvious answer is to take the mast down again and run a electric tape thru the mast  and draw the line up but, does anyone have a magical solution for this problem that I haven't thought of?

Thanks
