Since pulling on these lines is to complement the release of the bowlines, it would seem that the spread sail is being brought in closer to the mast with the aid of horizontal or vertical brails.
Although the Irish tales, whose written form reflects twelfth-century linguistic use, certainly attest to the transfer of naval construction principles from the Norse to the Irish, they do not further illuminate the matters of mast, sail, and rigging.
For the Irish term beirling and its identification as a loan from a Norse term reflected in the attested berlings ss, the ground beam for a tilt or ship's tent, see Sayers (Forthcoming).

The bowline is completely doubled, except for the hole the rabbit went through.
This retraced bowline functionally has a complete bowline as backup, and it does not suffer from the "open under ring load" symptom that has caused the German climbers association to stop recommending the single bowline.
While the single bowline is reasonably safe for tie-in, it isn't for rescue (if rescuers clip a biner to your bowline loop, the bowline might untie under load) or for joining chest and seat harness, or a few other purposes.

(from Irish J/24 Newsletter, November 1998) Peter Gray's launching instructions for the Westerns (1998) declared that Michael Clarke has a contraption, and, sure enough this contraption was used to lower all the masts as visiting boats lifted out.
With care to keep dangling lines clear and so forth, it is a surprisingly easy job for one person to raise or lower a J/24 mast and is perhaps best done ashore for steadiness.
The key dimension is that the 3:1 block be 20 to 21 feet off the deck, so that when chock-a-block the mast foot just emerges from its deck hole.

One of the most notable Irish political hunger strikes was that of the Lord Mayor of Cork, Terence MacSwiney, also an elected Member of Parliament, who was arrested by the English administration in Cork City Hall and forcibly removed from Ireland to London’s Brixton Prison.
But these ten Irish prisoners were not the first to resort to the continuing tradition of the troscad in an attempt to assert their rights during the current struggle in the north of Ireland, nor the first to die on hunger strike.

Amid renewed growling and another futile attempt to free himself, Numa was finally forced to submit to the further indignity of having a rope secured about his neck; but this time it was no noose that might tighten and strangle him; but a bowline knot, which does not tighten or slip under strain.

 Good Old Boat Newsletter - April 2004
It did occur to me when I was grieving the loss of knots and knot know-how aboard, and in our lives in general, that the comment about the jib clew was debatable.
I’m not sure that it was much of an improvement when we replaced those very clunky bowlines in the jibsheets with the snapshackles that we use these days.
When I’m on the bow, my goal is to avoid being hit by the clew in any case, and Jerry steers the boat off the wind and sheets the jib so it won’t be flying around wildly.
