How well do they work? How do you get
down, once at the top?

Never used one of these but climbed many thousands of feet on rope in
caves using a similar "Sit-Stand" system based on Prusik knots. To get
down, you reverse the process. You could make your own.

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.

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.

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

Oh Good Grief..... Ascenders and use the halyard. then Repel down. Bosun's
chairs are for fat old guys like Bobsprit and Commode Joe.

I use a wrap of rubber inner tube around the ankles and climb the mast like
a Samoan on a Palm Tree.

You Americans are generally so fat, out of shape and with bad hearts that
you'd need a crane and oxygen gear to get your fat asses up that high.

It's no wonder the few healthy ones move into the mountains to avoid the
gelatinous mass of cellulite inhabiting the urban areas of the USA!

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

Your Spinnaker Halyard is wire???

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.

Uh... Bert... You can haul the proper static line up USING one of your
wire
halyards. DUH! This system requires NO helper, and who needs FIVE for a
conventional bosun's chair? Do you weigh 600 pounds or something?

fat ass out of a chair to waddle over to the bathroom and change
Depends......

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa..... try not to **** yourself till the nurse

I perfer to dive from the spreaders and swim back to the boat and pull
myself up. Repelling is for you tree huggin snow birds. Most likely
your spreaders could not support your weight... so I understand.

As for going up the mast...Thats simple on a proper cruiser

Tell us some other things you know nothing about, dwarf!

I don't know your real name or address.... which for you is a good thing.

You'd **** a Depend's load if I got hold of that info.

Look Commode... if you ever need a warm feeling in your diapers between
feedings.... contact me with your info.... you got my address and phone.

Just a few short weeks ago you were gloating that the name Aerts was very
common
in Belgium and I was never going to figure out which one of the millions
was
you. The fact is that you are an idiot, and forgot the minor fact that you
are
not in Belgium. You are in Nova Scrotum, and you stick out like a sore
vagina.

Woooooooooooooo......... did lil Commode Joey pop a stinky in his diapers
again???

Heh Commode... is it all warm and squishy???

Then dive off the spreaders to get down most times.

Moorons spreaders could not handle his weight.

Oh they can handle normal healthy Canadian Body Weights no problem.... it's
you fat assed cellulite ridden Yanks they weren't designed to accommodate.

Commode Joe has been very good today... he'll get an extra Twinkie tonight!

I bet his sleepy-time meds have kicked in...... and maybe if you give Ms
Terri a wink... she'll provided you with a dose of the same..... you fat
Yankee! I doubt her spreaders could bear your weight as well.

Yeah the Commodes little boy gets him up early every morning with a
load of crap. He's drueling on his bib about now.

I did not know there was a thing as a healty Canook, I thoughts your
all gimp like the brits, with your welfare clinics and such. At least
you guys know how to brush yer tooth.

And you are more fat...and more of a Yankee than I sir. Yor live just a
couple blocks away from em, compared to me.

Bill you think everything in term of your puny 20 foot mast
and grossly obese form.

Everyone, myself included, gets mighty nevvous going up
a 60' mast.

I have one guy tailing a safety line. One grinder for each set
of the three spreaders, and one up the mast. I've done it with
fewer, but I prefer to keep an eye on things as i've caught people
failing to belay the safety line on two occassions.

I can do it with fewer if the climber actually climbs instead of
being dead weight. I've done it with just myself grinding the
main halyard and tailing both lines, but it was brutal work.

The last three tiimes the climber didn't climb and weighed
245 lbs. It was slow work in low gear the whole way.

The truth is Bill guards his addy out of fear and

would like to meet with him personally to discuss

Good Grief Man..... I weigh in at 170lbs and 5'10", I have all my teeth,
I date 3 women on a regular basis and I own seafront property on a tourist
road. Down this way I'm a friggin' good catch for any woman!

And you are more fat...and more of a Yankee than I sir. Yor live just a

I may admit to being a better American than you...... but don't ever refer
to me as a Yankee. Cracker on the other hand is considered a compliment! :-)

Will Do.... I''ll see if Kira will do the "Dance of the 7 Biscuits" for the
photo shoot. Skipper should like that...

Funny. I actually enjoy going up. I take my camera most times, and I am
never in
any hurry to go down. Maybe you have middle ear trouble in addition to
being
grossly obese. And lets be honest, shall we? My mast is not 20 feet, and
yours
is not 60 feet.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaa......

Commode uses a "Travel Lift" to hoist his fat ass out of a chair..... now
he claims to climb masts.... just too funny!

Heh Commode..... you'd better check the label on those pills... I believe
it reads Haemorrhoid Treatment ... not "Steroid"!!

CM

Dang I hate wire to rope halyards......

It's like something the Commode would use... switch them out Man!
