[C38] Climbing mast

[Joseph Launie]

Patrick,
     Do not ever do this again. ALWAYS use two halyards going aloft. My 
friend Frosty used one and it broke, killing him.  One thing would be to 
re-rig your main  halyard ( we have) to 2 to 1. Then use another halyard 
for safety. Use your halyard winches to get you up and down. Joe Macavity
