Mike I couldn't agree more. If it take a SAFETY person to help. The job can 
wait. I personally don't go up my mast. My girlfriend does, she has replaced my 
wind instruments, radar some and cleaned my spreaders. I do the easy work, that 
being manning the winch.

Enough said.  Don't do it alone make sure you are attached to the mast at all 
times

Hi All,

I need to replace the radar dome on my mizzenmast this weekend.  It's about 22' 
up.  I'm in solid shape and can climb without a problem.  However, I have never 
climbed a mast before, and I have to do this work alone.  I'm curious if anyone 
here has suggestions for doing this safely.  Is it possible, or should I call 
in a professional?  

I'll be down on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake, so I'm sure I could find 
someone, but I'd rather learn to do this myself and I'd rather spend $$ on mast 
climbing equipment than on a pro.  I'm sure this won't be the last time I have 
to do this.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks so much.
