I think that is what I'm goin to do. I made a list of
things to get. I decided no buying two right hand
ascenders instead of one of each--based on advice
I found online.

Ascenders aren't for pussies..... it's still a workout. Try a rope ladder.
You can build one yourself.


As I have wire halyards, I'll have to either change
one over to rope, or else plan to add another halyard
to the mast.

Your Spinnaker Halyard is wire???


In either case it will be easier to go up with one helper
rather than the team of five I use now.

5???? Holy Crap!! Spotters are useless. You can rig your own safety line
and go solo.

I'd get a set of mast steps [folding] if I could afford it right now.

Both my spinnaker halyards are wire with rope spliced
50/50.
