Here's how I do it: https://svviolethour.com/2015/04/22/how-to-climb-the-mast-solo-part-2/
https://svviolethour.com/2015/02/28/cleaning-the-boat-climbing-the-mast/ (earlier post with my first attempt; part 2 above has more details) There are many different ways to do it. One of my goals was doing it cheaply, with equipment I mostly already had. If you're willing to spend some $$$, ATN mastclimber might be easier. -Patrick 1984 C&C LF38 On Thu, Mar 16, 2017 at 9:00 AM, <cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com> wrote: > From: Ryan Doyle <ryanpdo...@gmail.com> > To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com > Cc: > Bcc: > Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2017 11:01:15 -0400 > Subject: Stus-List Climbing the mast solo > Hi All, > > I need to replace the radar dome on my mizzenmast this weekend.
