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.

Don't do it alone make sure you are attached to the mast at all times MikePERSUASION C&C 37 K/CBLong Sault On Mar 16, 2017, at 11:01 AM, Ryan Doyle via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: 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.
