Another is to the topping lift, I put a standing part (could
be done just as well with wire) with spliced loops at both
ends to the backstay crane, then one of those new
lightweight snatch blocks. The topping lift ran from the end
of the boom, up to the snatch block, then back to a block in
the end of the boom and cleated near the gooseneck. This
gave a 2:1 purchase on the topping lift, reduced weight
aloft, reduced lines running inside the mast, and I could
undo it easily & quickly by popping the snatch block.
