I'll admit I'm not particularly impressed with Coronado Yachts. I'll
give you credit though, you seem to have this one in ship shape. Nice
looking vessel.

What a lubberly set-up. You should install a proper flagstaff on the
transom and decommission your improper set-up.

========================

Good advice. I'm sure everything on your Coronado 27 is set up in
proper Bristol fashion. Has it been underway recently?

Very clean looking bright yellow Cornado sailboat.

Emphasis on the sail boat. :)

I have a block for a flag halyard connected to my backstay about 15
feet above my deck. The block has failed, and I'd rather not unstep
that mast to replace the block.

Can I used a bosun's chair and connect the main halyard around the
backstay to lift someone up to the fitting to replace it?

My main concern is placing 180 to 200 pounds of strain on the backstay.
Logic tells me this is okay though, since the forestay carries the
genoa, but before I try, I'd like other opinions.

Thanks!

it will be fine. I use mine to load the wife all the time, and she is
every bit of 300lbs.
