[C38] bosun's chair

[Charles]

I have the Topclimber and would not be without it.  Defender has it for 
$349, but you still have to buy static line, which cost me about $80.  
It is amazing how nice it is to know I can go up the mast anytime.  I 
went up four times last season to check things and replace fittings.  
While it is a bit strenuous the first time as you need to learn the 
technique, you can deal with those issues way up there that you know you 
should but...   I would also note that it is by far the most comfortable 
bosun's chair to work out of that I have ever been in.
