I don't recommend this either. https://photos.app.goo.gl/6W4yvZJBcz3HrQtB9 Yes that's me on another boat. We had to lift 2 boats and the guy that arranged the crane arranged for a 100 ton crane at about $800 an hour. Lifting straps got stuck on his mast and they were frigging around too much.

Years ago, there were a couple of "boat workers" doing work aloft on a boat on my pier. The boat was the first one on the pier so it was next to the bulkhead. One guy got in the bosun chair and the other guy hauled him up with the halyard tied to the hitch on his pickup truck. DO NOT DO THIS! -

You can also consider a counterweight of half of that (or, generally, any size). If you lift 50 lb, you would be 50 lb lighter. Though, I still believe that it is much easier to climb yourself. Marek From: CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List Sent: January 24, 2021 15:20 To: Stus-List Cc: Adam Hayd

For going up the mast solo, I was able to find a used ATN Topclimber on eBay for a reasonable cost. I have been up the mast 3-4 times now, so it has paid for itself. I was not confident putting something together from parts and ATN got good reviews from users (and now me). Dave > On Jan 24,
