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 wou ld 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

Skippers, 

  

Any advice on going up mast? 

I hook bosun's chair to main halyard and have someone wrench me up using the jib sheet wrench. 

Invariably the sheet gets tangled up and makes it nearly impossible to get down. 

The angle from the main halyard makes this happen. 

The wrench on the deck is too small. 

Advice? 

  

Thanks, 

Patrick
