I built one of these but using starboard instead of marine ply. I also had a bigger eye at the bottom to guide the line easier.

My girlfriend was there to belay the safety halyard for the way up and down. But I was able to pull my weight without a problem. It takes a bit getting used to and always have a safety line.

Listers, Now that the Enterprise is up for the winter, I'm starting my list of projects -- One of which is some mast work. Has anyone on the list ever rigged their own mast self-climber, and, if so, what did you use. There's an article about it in the latest issue of Practical Sailor, so it's on my mind. And no, the transporter can't materialize me at the top of the mast. All the best, Edd Edd M.
